Try renaming the big files to something.zip and unzip again. That's how it works with (some of) the WAV versions.

whenever i go to download either the mp3 or wav it prefills itunes music player as the "save as type:" once downloaded, it does not give an option to unzip or extract, it just has the itunes logo next to it, but can not be played or found in itunes... why won't it download just as a zip file which would enable me to try the unzipping suggetions made here?

The MPLSound album finished downloading.
It is recognised as a ZIP but cannot be unpacked.
How to unpack?
Any tips?

Are you guys checking the sticky about problems and resolutions? There are some tips in there also. Try doing the renaming mentioned above, which I didn't try yet. I just had to re-download them a couple of times then I'd right click to do my extract rather than 'Open'. Once they did extract, there was another subfolder which held the files. They're including some OSX file, so I'm not sure if that's making stuff weird or not.

Hmmm.
Appears to be an incomplete download.

Hmmm.
Again Mplsound.
Again the same size.
Coincidence?

i'm not a member, but people on a mac could try renaming the file to .zip or .rar and extract using this program

http://www.unrarx.com/

people on Windows could use winrar or 7-zip
