Computer moron here.

I need something to open Zip files from a downloaded album (legal one!)

Would this be a good  option?  Note simplicity is key here....don't care about features, etc.....just want to open this damn file and move the music to MusicMatch Jukebox.

Would this work?

Many thanks for any advice.

I use 7-Zip for .Zip and .Rar files, I think it's great.

Thanks guys. 

Downloaded the 7-zip, extracted.  Can't figure out how to get the file from the 7-zip area to my MusicMatch Jukebox Library so I can play it. 

Tried to move it, copy it, it just  doesn't appear.

You have to extract the folder to a location of your choice before using the files. If you extracted it but are still trying to open it from the 7-zip window, it won't work - figure out where you extracted it to, then try it from there.

Out of convenience, I extract everything to my Desktop and then move the files where I want them.

If you have a music folder, you should be able to extract directly to there, though.

Can someone try downloading this album and  see if it works for you.  All I'm getting is graphics for the artwork and PDF files

http://www.ilmaniscalcomaldestro.com/panna_polvere_vertigine/

Just click where it says "free" and tell me if you are getting actual music files from this.

Is that a strategy to spread a killer RPI "virus" among us, Jim?  Wink

Apparently I'm downloading a 68.7 MB zip archive, I'll let you know what happened in 40 minutes (according to my browser).

Ok, I get music files. They are in MP3 format and appear to be duplicated.

Yep, but the duplicated ones are false I think.

Wasted pretty much a whole Sat trying to download an album.  Epic fail.  My download experiment ends before it begins. 

CDs rock.
