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 and use to to open the files, with any luck they should then play with anything you choose.

Also, if there are several of them for the one album, then sort them by file name and extract from what would be the first one.

I'm sure it was, well I've never paid for it or had a trial version. Perhaps I downloaded it on the sly  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!
