I'm trying to download the songs that I requested, which sonicdude uploaded, however, due to me not understanding WinZip at all, I'm having trouble.

When I downloaded them, it took me to the WinZip thing, and I'd like to get them to play through iTunes.

Please help!
I suck with computers. :(

Um, the files you downloaded were probably sent in a zip file, which is why it took you to WinZip. Just select the 'Extract to Desktop' choice and the files should appear in a usable format. Copy and paste those files into iTunes (not the folder, but the songs themselves) and you should be set.

Java

All right so I extracted the files.

If I send the folder to the recycle bin, will the songs still work? Because I remember something similar happening with some other songs.


Great, now iTunes doesn't feel like opening. >_>

So, what can I do to keep the songs, but not have them appear on my desktop?

The last thing I need is more icons. >_>

Ughh...I feel like an idiot right now.

Extract the files to where you want via Extract To or just select those two files if they came together...

or

If one is below the other and hold Ctrl IF one is between some things like .PNG's
See the Cursor?  That's the window where you will drop them off.

File > Add File to Library.  Browse to where you dumped them and use Ctrl to select mutliple music files or import 1 by 1 if you fancy ;)  (File > Add Folder to Library IF you've created a folder to put your songs in)

This is why I was hesitant on posting this...

Anyway, I think I've got it all figured out from the previous posters.
Thanks anyway.

If i have trouble, I'll be sure to look at your post.

Winace, WinRAR, and WinZip suck balls.


7-Zip is the best one around. Anyone who uses something different is a failure at life and death, similar to an emo.

WinZip sucks. WinRAR is garbage.

7-Zip is the way to go.
