After a half hour of downloading this file, when I try to open it I get a message that says,

There is no default application specified to open the document "2009yearender.rar".

What's rar? Why can't I open this? HELP!

FA, you need to download the program WINRAR to open this file. It needs to be uncompressed, like a zip file would.

Sorry, FA, didn't know you don't speak rar.

It's easy to use.

Thanks guys. Just heading to bed now, but I'll try it tomorrow night.

Will this work on a Mac?

I use 7zip.

Emptied. Thanks!

Thanks, tentoze. I finally got around to giving this some listens. I enjoyed the glimpse into what's going on in the country world and really enjoyed a lot of the first half of the tracks, especially #2-6. Started to lose focus through 7-9, and came back for 10-13. #14 kind of killed it for me. I just couldn't make myself listen through it. Some of the stand out tracks for me were Davey Brown, Halfway to Jackson, and Whip-poor-will. Not sure I see a pattern in my selections. I think after the #14 stopper, the only one that called to me was the Howling at the Moon track, reminded me of Tom Waits, and I always like Tom.

thanks again

I finally got this unrared and onto my iPod. This is a great comp! Everything on here is new to me. I am really enjoying it and there are a few songs on here that will lead me into further investigation. I can't name specifics yet because its been playing while I 'm working and I haven't been able to take note of song title and artist. But there's a lot on here that I like.

That's a pleasant surprise, FA- lemme know if I can help at all.

Yeah, I'm not good with the specifics, but I did let it roll in the background at work yesterday and was enjoying it enough that I just kept letting it repeat. Gotta listen sometime while looking at the track list.
