1. Not sure if this is a thread on here or not. sorry if so.

    I'm a brand new member and tried to download parts 1 and 2 of a bootleg from mediafire. I see the downloads, but can't open them on my mac.

    Not sure what i need to do next. Hope someone can help.
  2. The files are compressed and need to be extracted. Google search something like Rar extract Mac. you should find a free program in no time.
  3. thanks. I'll try that.
  4. Stuffit will do

    Located macRAR and Stuffit. looks like both of those programs you have to pay for or I'm doing something wrong which is highly possible. Any more advice on this stuff?

    Thanks,

    p.s. anyone else feel free to chime in as well.

    Full disclosure, I'm a PC. I was out of town during the Barca shows and downloaded on a friends Mac. Sorry I can't remember the program I used, but it was free.

    This is free and will decompress. It's what I use. the paid for version allows you to compress too but you don't need that.

    Double-click on the .rar folder and it will do the rest for you. You'll then have a folder full of mp3's to drag and drop into iTunes. Be aware that some of the bootlegs will decompress the whole thing into one folder, some will need you to do each folder individually. You have to have all parts for this to work successfully.

    PM me with any problems.
