What are you ripping it with? You might want to try a different program to rip it with. Nero can do it, WinAmp can do it, iTunes can do it, etc.

If you just can't get it to work with a ripped version, then I would recommend just "recording" the track. Set your recording properties to "what you hear" (or "stereo mix", or whatever your soundcard calls it), queue up the CD in your favorite player (RealPlayer should be fine, since you already use it), load PowerTracks (PTPA), arm a stereo track in PTPA, hit the record button, click over to RealPlay and hit the play button. As long as your recording levels are set okay, I believe you'll have a hard time telling the difference between the ripped and the recorded version.

Just a thought. It will only take you the time it takes to play the song, which is a lot less than the time we've spent discussing it on the forum.
