Title Fight: RAR vs. ZIP
First off, a big thank you to everyone who made our launch an overwhelming success on Friday! The Kapabel & Inf album is being downloaded like wildfire, and the feedback for the new site has been killer. Boom!
Now on to the main event…RAR vs. ZIP.
A very few select Mac users have contacted me regarding difficulties opening the Kapabel & Inf download, which is a .RAR file. After some research, I discovered the issue is when the .RAR is downloaded through Safari on a Macintosh. If you have a Mac, you’ll need to use Firefox / Mozilla / ect. to download the album!
If you use Safari, the download turns into splat of jibberish code. I would make up a b.s. excuse for why it doesn’t unzip when downloaded, but I can’t come up with anything except for “Y2K” or “9-11.”
From what we’ve “heard,” most albums on bit torrents, file sharing programs and mp3 blogs are available as a .RAR. This seems to be the popular means of compression, so we thought we’d share in this pretentious file extension extravaganza with our free album download. However, we could be wrong…and here is where you get to voice your opinion:
What is your preferred method of file compression for receiving music?
- .ZIP
- .RAR
- something else?
Place your bets, and respond below. Who shall stand victorious?!?
