CAn anyone tell me, please, how to listen to the downloadable mp3 recordings from the courses. They seem to come in zip files which my computer can't open.

BTW, I am no computer geek.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I use WinRAR to extract compressed files. It is free and has always worked well for me.

For Linux:

Install zipping/unzipping tools:
$ apt-get install zip
$ apt-get install unzip
Execute said tools:
$ unzip yourfile.zip
For Windows, you can use a GUI tool like 7Zip or WinRar.

Most of the time, Windows comes with an unzipping utility baked right in. You should be able to find your .zip file, right click on it, and the context menu should contain an option such as "Extract .zip archive to this folder" or something similar. Installing 7Zip or WinRar may add their own context menus as well.

GUI = graphical user interface, a proper window instead of that crazy command line stuff rido.gif (just in case)
