Need to change Deflation/Compression level "zipping" in Windows XP

[Guest WeanieBoo]

I need to change the deflation/compression level to none when "zipping" a

folder in Windows XP Pro. I am using the built-in Zip utility for the OS. How

can I make it zip the files in a folder so my karaoke software can read the

MP3+CDG from a zip folder without compressing it? I tried third party

zipping, but the player does not recognize it either?? The player recognizes

zip folder as a file to play, but not if they are compressed. The files

within cannot be deflated. Please help me?? Thanks

Both WinZip and WinRAR will let you do what you want. WinZIP has an option

for Compression of "None" when you add files to the zip. And WinRAR lets you

set the speed to "store". And both have 64-bit versions. Of the two, I like

WinRAR slightly better. Probably because they were the first to give us full

64-bit support.

Charlie,

We do agree on WinRAR.

Simply the best! (was that Tina Turner?)

Trial available at:

http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar371.exe

An x64 "friendly" 32-bit program.

Yeah, I run both here. Not because I need to - WinRAR does zips as well as

WinZIP. But I actually think WinZip is a bit faster.

7-zip will also do what need. The UI is not as nice as WinZip and

WinRAR, but it has an x64 version and it's free.
