The above is for Win 8.

In XP:

My Computer or within any folder > Tools > Folder Options > View > Hide extensions for known
file types (is Unchecked, not checked)

In 7:

same or Organize instead of Tools.

Thanks ALL,

I was having the same issues as IE created a zip folder. I was also unable to see the extension at the folder level. Finding this Posting was Awasomm! In File explorer Under View Tab I found a box file extension and I checked it, changed the .zip to .mmip and the folder transformed to a single file and when double clicked presto, like Majic it installed in Media Monkey.

Had it not been for the question asked and your efforts I would still be Beffuddled and lost in the computer world.

Thanks Again job well done!

Nevermind guys. I got it. There was an option to change the download from a zip to "all files" before downloading. I guess that did it. I didn't do anything else different. Double clicked and it did just what it should. A blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while huh.

I suppose I need a step by step instruction on how to change the downloaded file to a mmip since I only have IE and put it in to Monkey. If anyone has the time to indulge me.

A mmip file will not open to show you the contents, but instead install in MediaMonkey as an Addon. A zip file is just a compressed file.

That's kind of what I thought. How would changing the name alter the content of the file? It doesn't. I'll google. When I looked through it, it looked like extensions were enabled. I'll look again.

Hi, thanks for the response. I renamed in WE. Double clicked, it opened up all the files but doesn't do anything. But I've been able to do that prior to renaming it. Nothing happens. No install, nothing. As mentioned above, clueless here. Don't use computers. Doing this as I'm being forced into low quality compressed, crap sound digital music,
because that is all there is now.

That's because you didn't actually change the extension.

You need to first enable viewing of file extensions in windows explorer. How to do this depends on your version of windows, so you may want to google how to do it.

A better option would be to use a different browser to download the add-on. Internet explorer is the only one that will change the extension to .zip. Try Google Chrome or Firefox to download the file.

In Windows Explorer you need to rename the file. You may need to enable the showing of extensions in Windows Explorer to accomplish this.

Could you show me how to do this? You know, steps for clueless people.

Eventually,prob was when I saved it the zip extension did not show, I had to get it from a drop down list.
Thanks for your patience

mm_codec_pack_2.0.2.17.zip

That's what I meant. Don't unzip, it is not supposed to be a .zip file. You may have to enable the showing of extension in Windows Explorer to see the .zip extension and to allow you to change it to .mmip.

Sorry I cant find mmip file a, I have taken the full folder and put it in the MM folder but If i right click it asks me were i want to put the files once they are unzipped.Sorry to be thick but still lost
