    I just downloaded an album from megadownload.net, a rare one that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Unfortunately, it won't play, in media player or anywhere else. I used winzip, so it is a compressed file. Help, anyone? Time is somewhat of a factor.

    I don't get it. I'm a technology dumbass, every third word on that page stumped me.

    Hold on... after some weaseling around, I might know what I did wrong.


    Problem being, I'm having trouble getting rid of it. I have to get winzip off my computer, but I can't find the file anywhere (I searched). Where can I find it and get it out of here?

    No, get winRAR instead of winZIP.

    Not finding anything that says winzip... maybe it has a more professional name or something.

    Tried it with winrar... fared better, I actually managed to seperate the files... now they just won't fucking play in media player.


    This gets pretty fuckin irritating after a while.

    This is fucking retarded, the fucking tracks don't even have times and I can't fuckin alter them. Fuck winrar, fuck winzip, fuck the internet, fuck compression, fuck these files, I'll just buy the fucking thing at Amazon and save myself the mother fucking chest pains.

    Is megadownload.net a good virus-free site? Limewire has been acting up for me lately and if you can download full albums there I might as well us that instead.

    I got the files, I just can't use or play them for whatever reason.


    I'm on a different site now (loadingvault). I can't figure out how to download the album though, considering I click on the icon but it doesn't acknowledge it. edit: figured it out

    Loadingvault worked, the files worked, and they are on my mp3 player successfully.


    Happy JE is happy.

    Band has the gayest name in the world (for a rock band), but its a kickass album.
