You need to extract your .rar archive to get to the files within. If this is supposed to be an audio book, then chances are that you'll find your mp3 files contained within the .rar archive. .rar is another form of archive, similar to but not the same as .zip. You'll need a decompression program to extract your .rar archive. One that is fre and very accessible is 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ just install with the defaults and you should be good to go. 7-zip does not take over file associations as some other decompression utilities do. when you have 7-zip installed, you should find it in the context menu when you right-click on the .rar archive. Pick "extract" and you should be able to get to your book. hth Doris At 01:02 PM 10/19/2011 -0500, you wrote: >I need to figure out how to convert a book in the .RAR to MP3? > > >Thanks, > >Trish >For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: >http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
