I get an error with the file.......

It's a simple mp3 download. Are you clicking on DOWNLOAD?

 

[Gepetto]

It is not a valid zip file format.

What in the world are you guys using?

It's a simple mp3 download, as shown here in Windows 7/IE 11.

Latest WinZip v21 indicts the download as bogus.

I have Winzip 21.0 and confirm the hiccup with an IE download too ...

Just downloaded via Win 10 Pro 'Edge' ...

same sh!t

With Firefox, if you download (to save), the file comes in OK - but if you try to open it ("with") immediately through Firefox, it pukes up the same error.

Incidentally, on the successful save through Firefox - I immediately scanned the file and it's clean.

This isn't a virus problem, it's a compression format error.

They got too excited about sharing it free and didn't care to test it out across platforms.
Not surprised.

There is NO ZIP FILE!

It opens directly in Windows Media Player or saves.

It's about 3.8 MB in size and an MP3 file.

I've downloaded and or saved it several times.

In fact it was pointed out to me on another forums site.

Just download it straight. Or ask Trump.

It doesn't even matter now.

I guess I finally get to say use a real OS and browser.

I d/l'd the zip file presented and saved it to disk. I then renamed the file extension to .mp3. It plays in VLC.

Well, maybe so, but what are you using that it came up as a ZIP file?

IE 11 sees is as an mp3 with no trouble and even opens it in Windows Media Player.

Do you use Apple?

See, what I don't get and what bugs me is when I find a file I think is worth sharing and I tend to get "it doesn't work"...that didn't tell me a lot and I can't be such an idiot?

It shouldn't be a freaking puzzle.

I have VLC too but my defaults are to WMP and VLC works through WMP.
