The above decompresses .rar and .zip files. Compressed to make a smaller, faster download possible. Download the v3.71 and install it. After doing that, make a temporary folder on your desktop. Place the 'rared' track in it and then right-click on it, choosing 'extract here'. Find the folder with the track name on it and drag it to the 'Locations' folder found inside 'GameData' folder.

You beat me to it!

Have fun!!!

I may have, but forgot a couple remarks...:crying:

The WinRar program is a shareware program, but even though most of the 'nice-to-have' peripherals available with it will expire in about 30 days, it will continue to decompress .rar files forever. It will also 'unzip' .zip files, too. Can file-13 your install of WinZip...:mrgreen:

7-zip is a much better solution and it doesn't keep reminding you to register every time you want to look in an archive.
It is open source and supports almost every zip known to man! Even YKK.

Thanks...didn't know that. Guess I'll start using the .7z decompressor exclusively and file-13 my WinRar...:mrgreen:

File-13ed my WinZip a long time ago and have had .7zip for about a year, but seldom use it...
