When I downloaded it, it was a zipped folder but while I did have to extract it, I didn’t find that too complicated to do, and yes, I still use a computer, although it’s a laptop instead of a desktop. However, it didn’t require any extra programs or anything. So that’s odd that you couldn’t do that.
There’s also the lost Mylar short that no one seems to have in their possession. I keep hoping that to suddenly appear.
I can do it (without the zipped folder). I tend to download several tracks at once, and once I get it set up so I have a screen open in my music library which I can refresh each time I download, it’s not that burdensome to do. My point is that they are making it much more complicated than it used to be, and there is a reason for that.
It used to be only albums came in zipped files… which are pointless, since the ZIP format doesn’t reduce binary file sizes at all, really.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that, too. I was trying to send someone a large file and I zipped it, thinking it would help, but no. It did nothing and I had to find a different way to share it.
I did buy a very large album (or rather several albums; the complete Billy Joel collection), and lately, they’ve made it harder to buy individual tracks all at once so I’ve done mostly just albums (as they probably intended). I used to use the music cart.
