7 Zip is the best free one you can get.

I fail to see why he couldn't unzip the album.

I'm genuinely puzzled. How big is the file you downloaded?

There's one thing we absolutely agree on. 

I'm a Winzip user.  Before that PKZip.  I don't think the built-in zip in Windows allows you to back up and restore to the same location.  Quite likely I just haven't explored it enough.

Yep, but the duplicated ones are false I think.


this archive seems to be created on a MACintosh computer and then opened under Windows, you can ignore the files with a leading point. Download works for me too.

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).

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.

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.

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.
