Clod requires computer help (again)

8 Replies

I have just downloaded (legally I might add) the new Radiohead album and it has been downloaded as a zipped file which appears in ""My Documents""-how do I transfer that whole file to Windows Media for the purposes of transferring to CD-my computer sound isnt that great so I would prefer to use my normal hi-fi.

-apologies for non-computer ""savvy"".

have you tried opening windows media player and then either importin g it from where it is or searching for it.

Thanks katherine,I will give that a go!!

no guarantees it works. lol

I couldnt get it to ""find"" the zip file ,so I have ended up having to open up each track,create a playlist and then burn it (as I believe is the expression)-but it seems to have worked so I can enjoy the happy world that is Radiohead!

Thanks anyhoo!

You needed to unzip or extract the files into a new folder first - zipping compresses them for ease of downloading so they need uncompressing ... me thinks!

Anyway, Enjoy!

I did see the extracting option but I was a bit apprehensive that if I made a mistake I would lose the entire file!

Don't worry you can't loose unzipped bits, only multiply them!!

You end up with a zipped and an unzipped version!

PS spent all monday morning sorting out other peoples computers at work LOL!

Thanks for the info Kate,my computer ""knowledge"" doesnt really extend much beyond ""idiot"" buttons-at work ,I can run an entire surveillance system virtually from F11 !!!
