    I have an album in .RAR format and only a few files I can extract. All the other files are OK and can be listened to. But when It comes to extracting I encounter this problem. What should I do. Any help is appreciated.

    what does the error message say? the RAR file could either be corrupt or incomplete

    No message comes up. It acts like it has been extracted but no file appears. Its very weird. I have also used another extracting program called "IZArc" and no luck either. Its strange because I can play the music but can't extract some of the files. Do you know if there is a way to record the music or something like that so I can avoid extracting it.

    okay I'm a little confused. You say you can play the files, but you can't extract them? What happens when you do extract, are the files just not there?

    Yea, exactly what you said. I don't understand myself. No error message at all. What do you think it could be?

    wow I'm at a loss, thats weird. I've never encountered that before. when you open it in winRAR, try extracting the files indivdually maybe, instead of the whole thing at once??

    Tried that and it just creates a directory with no file in it at all. I think the archive is either damaged or the person who made it has done something so it isnt normal.
