It also depends on what you are used to.

Yes its nice for viewing zips as folders which is fine. However I did come from a time where you didn't have that feature. Initially I used winrar then didn't care for it then used winzip. Then I got tired of the registration so cracked it. Then I got 7zip and it was faster so I jumped ship. On 27/01/2023, Gene <gsasner@...> wrote:

When you go to download them program, you will receive a message telling you that this is not a windows program. Just arrow down a couple of times and you will find download anyway. Dave

Unless they have changed it they have a kind of portable version themselves that all you do is put a shortcut for it, however doing it this way will of course not put the menu items on the various context menus that are very handy. It could be that there is something different about adding these options in Windows 11.

One thing I noticed with mp3 content, is there is little saving in space if any, by zipping it up.

Either way, the archive .zip will be in the folder where you create it. So, you talk of zipping an album – if you’re, say, in your music folder, and you have a folder inside that that contains the album…zip up that folder, and the zip file will be in your music folder, unless you use an archiver and set it to store archives in a different location, which I’m pretty surey ou can do, but isn’t the default behaviour.

If you zip mp3 content, it should be because you want to combine more than one file into a single archive. You might want to do this when sharing a number of individual mp3 files with someone. You might zip all the files, then send them to a sharing site and the person would download one file.

Or you might create a tutorial and want to have many mp3 files in one archive. Some people zip individual mp3 files. There is no benefit in doing this, the amount of space saved is too small to matter and it just makes more work for the recipient to unzip a single file. Zip is designed to make documents a lot smaller but mp3 files are already compressed. Zip isn't designed to compress audio in general.
