Hi kh, Al, John and Genius were right. You can't directly play files that are compressed as in .rar file extensions. You need to extract them first to a separate folder, I always contain them in a folder to avoid strewing the contents around, usually on my desktop.

You can't play a .rar file. You need to extract it first, as the first poster said. A .rar file is like a .zip file were it's compressed for faster upload and download. Although I think you should be careful with downloading .rar and .zip files from torrent sites because they ususally contain viruses.
