To zip up the mp3 file you will need Winzip or PK zip or enzip or another zip utility. I think if you run XP it has one of its own.

Zipping a file compacts it a little and renders it less likely to be corrupted in transmission. Winzip is pretty self explanatory to use. There is a free evaluation copy downloadable - but it is a bigger download than you will want to make on dialup. Install it and then when you right click on the file you get the option to put the file into a zip - and even to zip and email it.

The problem is (if you are on dialup) that the resulting file is still likely to be about 2 to 3 mb - bigger than you are going to want to send and maybe bigger than your ISP will let you send.

But thanks for the thought. I had it on tape but alas the tape got eaten by a rogue player. Perhaps I'd better trace and buy the CD. I did that for the Tim Rose songs I wanted to learn. Great songs, awful renditions and recordings. At least the Fish Cheer album is all listenable to!
