    1. Open the folder with the files inside.

    2. GO to the menu bar at the top of the window and select View > Details

    3. Right-click on one of the music files and select "Properties"

    4. Look at the line that says "Type of File." Does it say "MP3 format Sound," or something else?

    4.a If it says "MP3 format Sound," then simply add it to your iTunes library with a drag & drop or through iTunes "import" function.

    4.b If it says any other format/file type (like FLAC) it will need to be converted to AIFF, WAV, WMV, or Mp3 before it can be imported into iTunes.

    If you are using a Windows operating system, the files are downloaded in ZIP format. You will need to "un ZIP" them to transfer them to iTunes. My computer came with the WINZIP program, so I use that to unzip them. If you don't have Winzip, either download it. Or I found this link for unzipping files in Windows Vista .http://www.ehow.com/how_4963978_open-zi ... vista.html. I have no idea if this works. Just googled it and this was the first article.

    If you are using a Mac, i have no clue.
    Hope you get it figured out. Great shows.
