Zipped Files and Then Sending Them

Postby Grunch » Sun Aug 20, 2006 7:28 am

Sorry if this is a simple question, or has been covered a millino times already........but please help.

How do you create a whole CD into a zipped file????

Then, can I send the entire zzipped file via yousendit?? I want to send my brother some CD's and thought zipped files might be best??

I have a PC, not a Mac...

Thanks

Google WinRAR. Download this program. Once installed all you have to do is right-click on the folder icon of any Audio CD which is saved onto your hard drive & choose "compress and e-mail". I'm guessing you can take it from there.

YUP GRUNCH! JEFE is right! The WinRAR is a good way to compress your files especially if it's a whole cd. Patience would be a virtue because it would really take a while to complete the process, but it's worth it.[;)]
