I downloaded what is apparently an entire album, 86.5K, but it won't launch in Itunes like a single song. I can drag it to my Itunes source list, but it comes up empty. LimeWire calls the file an albumwrap. How do I get at it?

Thanks in advance,

Steve M.

Further exploration: It appears to be one big MP3. However it will open only with the RealOne Player, rather than Itunes. How to rectify?

Hmm...try stuffit expander, or disk copy. Don't know what an album wrap is, maybe I'm just not up on the whole album system right now.

The albums I've been downloading have been rar format so you could try unrarx.

Hi;
New user here. Since it has been mentioned in this thread, I have noticed several files with a /.rar extension. What is .rar? Can the Mac use these files?

rar files are stuffed archieves like zip or sit files. You can expand them with stuffit expander or unrarax, but I prefer unrarx, cause stuffit always asks for some .r1o file or something like that
