Title: Re: torrents Post by: hugob055 on March 29, 2008, 10:19:08 PM think the extensions are ..RAR
Title: Re: torrents Post by: Ginger on March 29, 2008, 10:31:17 PM think the extensions are ..RAR That isn't the audio format, but it does mean that they have been put into a .rar file that you need to unpack first. Download this (http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar371.exe) and use to to open the files, with any luck they should then play with anything you choose.

Title: Re: torrents Post by: Bongo on March 29, 2008, 10:56:18 PM 7-zip will extract rar files and is free, so no annoying trial thingies.

Title: Re: torrents Post by: Graham C on March 29, 2008, 10:57:51 PM wtf, it's not free anymore!
Title: Re: torrents Post by: Bongo on March 29, 2008, 10:59:09 PM It was never free?
Title: Re: torrents Post by: Graham C on March 29, 2008, 11:04:54 PM I'm sure it was, well I've never paid for it or had a trial version. Perhaps I downloaded it on the sly :D I'm sure it was free though. Also winzip never used to stop you using it after the trial either.
Everyone wants money these days! Title: Re: torrents Post by: Bongo on March 29, 2008, 11:05:32 PM Except the 7-zip which is free and handles pretty much everything :P
Title: Re: torrents Post by: Graham C on March 29, 2008, 11:06:06 PM give it time, they'll be after money
Title: Re: torrents Post by: Bongo on March 29, 2008, 11:12:41 PM Pretty hard to do that when it's open source...
Title: Re: torrents Post by: Graham C on March 29, 2008, 11:26:28 PM God bless the open source :D
