Help - WinRAR and uploading and stuff

[AoWW]

Ok, I realise I'm female, and blonde, and sleep derprived having been up all night - but this is driving me up the fooking wall!

I've got my songs ready to go - all nicely numbered and listed in the right order as a playlist in Windows Media Player, but now what...?

I assume I have to get them into WinRAR somehow but I haven't got a clue what I'm doing and when I do think I've managed to figure it out it's screwed up the order of the playlist and says half the files aren't there or are corrupt (they're all fine and happily still in the right places when I check back in WMP). Do I need to somehow move individual tracks across rather than the playlist? The whole WinRAR file compression thing seems to be my big problem.

I've got a yousendit account soreted so I assume - once i have a file that isn't dicking me around - i send it via yousendit to my own email to get a file link that I can put on here? Yes/No?

Somebody techie help, please, before I throw anything else or swear at an even higher volume.

And, yes, I know I've still got lots of other people's to review - and I will, I promise, as soon as i've got this sorted tomorrow.

Ta muchley (see, Daggers, I'm not a geek at all!!!!)

ok

the easiest way to do this is to simply copy and paste the songs you want into a new folder on your desktop, you can then rename each song 01 02 03 04 05 and they will then play in that order.

Once you have all the songs in your file right click on the file and send to compressed (zipped) folder this however can't be over 100mb if being sent via yousendit.

once this is done simply send the email to yourself, select the file of your desktop, upload it will then take 10 - 15 minutes and you will be provided with a link once this is done

then just copy and paste the link here

Any Help?

bu the way you don't need winrar if you do it this way

the easiest way to do this is to simply .......... rename each song 01 02 03 04 05 and they will then play in that order.

Or an even easier way is to adjust the track reference in the ID3 tag

Thanks Jay, i've not had time to faff around with it today but it all sounds fairly straightforward. Cheers for the help.
