What the hell is .rar file?

[Craig Gantt]

I got this album from this dude over the internet but its an rar file so am I supposed to convert it to a mp3 file or somethin?

Hey,

A .rar file is like a Zip file, only the information is normally stored across several smaller files instead of one big one.

You need Winrar to open them, you can download it here:
