Hey guys and gals,
I don't have any soundtracks to offer for tonight but I do have some cool news for you MAC readers. Thanks to my friends/readers, "matti-BMW from Germany" and "VonCheech" there may be a solution to that annoying problem with getting the password I use for my password coded RAR files to work on Macintosh's. Here's what my good friend VonCheech said:
"Betterzip" is a great program for rar and other formats and it works fine with your passwords.
it is not a free application but has a 30 day trial version. Here is the link; http://macitbetter.com"
That's one possible solution. Here's what my pal "matti-BMW from Germany" had to say:
"I use the program RAR Expander, I used the normal version, not the BETA version!! I have Version 0.8.4. Since you use passwords on your site, I always open the files with RAR Expander too, and I can tell you to 100% I have no problems to open the files from your website. If copy & paste not work, i type the password manually in, i have no problems with the password!
Here is a link for an English website for the program:
http://rarexpander.sourceforge.net/Downloads.html
And here is a German website to get it (and where I get it too):
http://rar-expander.de.malavida.com/d5249-kostenloser-download-mac
By the way, I have never used the BETA Version, so I can't tell you if it makes a difference or not. Please try the RAR Expander on a MAC, it must work, here in Germany I have no problems on my MAC."
So there you go, two good solutions to the MAC problem. BTW "VonCheech" tried "matti-BMW from Germany"'s solution and it worked fine on his MAC. In regards to PC users who have trouble all I can say is to try again. I have a PC and I double check prior to posting the soundtrack if the password works. If copying and pasting doesn't work then type it in manually. It's not a hard password to remember or type in. It's just one word and there's no combination of smaller and upper case or numerials. I hope this brings a end to the problems you guys have faced with the password. And I truly apologize for the trouble it's brought you guys and the fact that it's taken me this long to come forward with this info. Hopefully you all can forgive me.
On the bright side of things I plan on posting something very cool and special on either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. Not sure which yet cause it's still being worked on. But it's looking like it should be done on one of those two days. And it will be worth the wait! :D
Good night everyone. Take care.
