Easy solution. Download Winrar. It’s free. It works exactly in the same way you’d unzip a zip file. Same goes for the program 7zip (but that’s another topic). Winrar is extremely easy to use, trust me.

7zip is what I use, and i use to use Winrar. This man gives sound adviced. I would heed his words!

I would say 7zip is the better program. Much of your want list can be filled in the Film Score / VGM thread. Go to it, and use the "search this thread" function at the top.

thanks, yeah i found a program to use and it works great, but thanks for the help i did look into it
