zip files

[Shazzer]

Would anyone happen to know how I could open zip files on my 6 1/2 year old Powerbook G4? I am trying to limp it through another month before I purchase a new computer, and I would love to download music from my favourite site that only comes in zip files.
Thank you so much!

you may find you can do it in terminal.
Open Terminal and type
unzip
and press return. If it comes up with help or usage comment then its there. If it is you type
unzip *note the space then drag and drop the zip file and it will use the path, the return.

Thanks Kaveman,

I ended up single clicking on the file in downloads, then went up to file and clicked on to 'compress into MP3', it worked fine!

Cheers!
