    I have a song in WinZip and I want it to be in Windows Media Player so I can play it. Can someone tell me how to do this because I'm really bad at figuring this out? Thanks. :)

    You have to extract it :)


    Open the file with WinZip and then extract it :)


    There is a button that says 'Extract To...' you click it and then say where you want the extracted file to go and then click something like Okay or Continue ^_^

    First, YOU GOTTA HAVE FAITH!

    :lol:

    If you don't have Winzip, you can download it at winzip.com. Once you have it, double click on the zip file to open it and then you can drag the file that's inside of it out onto your desktop where you can move it to wherever you want. Then you can play it. :)

    lol @ Will. :lol:


    The file was in .rm so I found out that's why windows media player doesn't play it because it doesn't accept that file type. Although I found out that realplayer plays it, which is cool but I don't use realplayer for anything. Dedicated is trying to convert it for me. :)

    I have two solutions! Mwahaha..

    1: Download "Audio Conversion Wizard" or something and convert the file.

    2: Google something called "K-Lite Codec Pack" - go to the site and download either the basic pack or the mega pack (the mega pack contains codecs that'll play almost any filetype)

    Open up the newly souped up windows media player classic and play the track

    booyah ^_^

    You can get a mp3 recording program (super mp3 recorder) and record the song into an mp3 format, then play it in WMP. It records whatever comes out of your sound card. :)

    The codec pack plays even more formats than Winamp - it's become my new best friend :E
