 Topic: Zip Software?Posted: August 14 2010 at 11:34 |

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? http://www.7-zip.org/ 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?
 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. |
