zip files on Win 10

[IBTCHunny]

I'm trying to listen to Stingrays files. Apparently, on Windows 10, 7Zip doesn't work. It says its not supported, neither is any other media player. Is there a solution.

Hi IBTCHunny,

there are a few answers / solutions to your problem:

- 7zip isn´t a media player but a software to compress and decompress files.
- The 7zip website (http://www.7-zip.org/) says it works on Windows 10. Maybe you need to install a newer version.
- you don´t need 7zip to extract the files, any software that can handle zip files will do. In Windows 7 and Windows 8 you can open these files directly and extract them. I guess that won´t have changed in Windows 10?
- After the switch to the new server, all files will be in the archives as media files, no need to handle zip-files anymore. The switch should be done within the next hours.

If you can wait for a few hours more, you will be able to listen to Stingrayplayer´s recordings hassle-free.
