Megaupload - Beginner's Guide

If you haven't used Megaupload before it's really simple once you know how.

• If you don't have it already you need to download WinRar (or another software for extracting/compressing files). It's a small, clean and free trial of a software which you can use to compress folders on your computer to make them easy to share online or just to free up space. Just search WinRar download on google.

Or get it here: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Once the trials run out it will still work, it just asks you if you'd lke to buy the full version when you use it.

• Then you need to go to the megaupload link :
  www.megaupload.com/?d=ASVNQWM0

• On the right hand side you will see an icon saying Premium Download (ignore this unless you are a member)

Below there is a timer

• Wait for the timer to count down to 0 and an icon saying Regular Download will appear

A menu will pop asking if you want to save or open the file

• Press Save and put it in a folder where you can find it easily eg Desktop

Once it has finished downloading go to the folder and you will see a Zip icon of the album

• Right click on the icon and press 'Extract Files'

• Chose where you want the album to be extracted to and wait for it to finish

You're done, full high quality wav files of all the songs on the album, artwork and lyrics all waiting on your computer ready to be added to ITunes or whatever software you use. or to burn to CD.

Hope that's helped clear things up a bit, if you can put up with the slightly annoying kid talking you through it, this video is actually a pretty comprehensive guide to how to do the things I've just mentioned:

Enjoy the album
