    Hey Beach, here are some intructions that may help you with .rar files:

    A RAR file is an compressed file like a zip file.

    Step 1:

    •Download WinRAR.

    Go to: http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/ ... ?tag=mncol
    Click on the “Download Now” button to download latest version of the WinRAR software.
    Install WinRAR after the file has finished downloading

    Step 2:

    •Download the music that you have selected.

    Click on the link that is located next to the music you want to start downloading.
    Save the file to a place you can remember. (ex. “My Documents” or "Downloads" if you are using Firefox
    Remember the file that you are downloading is an Archive File. This is where WinRAR will help.

    Step 3:

    •Extract music to your specified area on your computer.

    Double click on the Archive File that you have downloaded.
    This will open WinRAR.
    Click on the “Extract To” Icon.
    Select the pathway to the “iTunes Music” Folder to extract the contents of the Archive File to that folder.
    This will move the music files from the Archive File to your “iTunes Music” Folder.

    Step 4:

    •Add the music to you music player.

    If you are using iTunes…..

    •Click on "File"
    •Select Add Folder To Library
    •Find the folder (music files) that you extracted to your “iTunes Music” folder.
    •Select that Folder
    •Click OK
    •Your Music will be added

    I hope that this helps you.
