How do I un-zip my download?

When you download the file, it arrives on your computer in a compressed format called zip. Before you can add the audio files to your library and listen to it, you'll need to decompress, or "unzip" it. Doing so is very easy: If you're on a PC, right-click the file and choose Extract All... You're done. If you're on a Mac, double-click the file and it extracts into a separate folder next to where the other file is located.

My zip download says it's expired. What now?
