I downloaded a piece of music.  It has the file extension .zip  I cannot load it into Sound Editor.  Is there a way I can convert a zip to a wma or wav so I can import it to Sound Editor?

Winzip.com
A zip file is a compressed file to save space and it needs to be 'unzipped' or uncompressed to use.

Good point - none of us asked OP if an attempt was made to unzip the file by doubleclicking on it ... huh.gif

Yes, I can open it and I can play it on my computer.  I just can't load it into Sound Editor.  Sound Editor won't recognize it.  Thank you.  Sorry I didn't supply this information earlier.

OK I right clicked and extracted.  Got an audio file now that is an mp3.  Tried to add to Sound Editor.  No luck.  Got a message I don't have a license to use the music.  I downloaded from a website that was not a music website but the website had this song for listening.  Guess there is no way to use this music.  

Luckily, it is not a big favorite of mine so I won't miss it too much.  Even though I can't access the music I did gain another bit of knoweldge from Roxio posters.  My time is never wasted by posting in these forums.  Thanks !
