Problem reading MP3 zip files

[rppurcel]

This may be a problem with my computer Compaq w/Up to date XP, but I'd thought I try here and see if anyone had any ideas about this problem.

I have problems reading MP3 zip files. This was not the case with 4.004 but I believe that it started with 4.005. I don't use the software regularly so I just discovered this over the holiday. When trying to read the folder with the tracks, I get the all files having errors balloon and none brought into MS. I thought it may be related to Max compression but a test showed that this was not the case. The zip files are on an external drive.

Any ideas or something to look for?

Thanks!

I notice that the folder takes a long time to load the files and some of the files don't get loaded. I have XP. Just noticed it today 12/31/07

I notice if the files are unzipped there is no problem. Doesn't matter the location of the files either.

4.005 was an update to 4.001 if that makes any difference..

I songverted a bunch of wma-zip files. When I tried to use them in Microstudio I had the same slow loading problem and the same files were not read (an error file was created with these files names.) As mp3zip files these files were played just fine by another program. As mp3zip files these files were not loaded by Microstudio
