Win XP zips of 2004 Piano e-Competition

2004-02-08 by Walter Sharpe

Thanks to Piano Bench. I played some of them directly from the web and they are great.
 
Then I downloaded all of the zips for Enhanced Midi files. Then I clicked on them and nothing appeared. Is it possible that they are in a zip format incompatible with Windows XP? If so, then this is the first time I ever encountered zip files that XP could not handle. If that's the case, then maybe someone would be so kind as to repackage them and post them on this group's still empty e-competition 2004 files section in a zip format that's compatable with Win XP. (If not, I would be happy to do this for the group but I'm going away for a few days so I can't do it right away. I will have to try WinZip or one of the other ones suggested such as Stuffit Expander suggested by Piano Bench. I hesitate to do that because some programs try to take over your computer. Winzip took over my other XP machine and now I can't open zip files as easily as I can with XP on my laptop here by the piano. I kind of like XP's way of doing it. There are fewer steps with XP than with WinZip) I realize Apple
 is far superior to Win. Especially since I saw my nephew's new Apple. (You should see what he can do with video and audio.) However, I am still stuck down here with the masses who have to suffer with Win XP.
 
Putting them into 3 different formats was a great idea. It should save a lot of space. The 2002 files take up 13 HD floppies.
