PQ, it is greatly appreciated how you are sharing such terrific stuff here !!
PS=>
For anyone having troubles with this DL - there is a super-simple fix...
The files post-extraction end up like this:
Wholetones-Life-Love-And-Lullabies_01_174-Hz_Brahms-Lullaby_320-kbps.mp3.part
See how it says .part at the end ??
Remove that and they play just fine
(I'm listening to music from this share right now.)
Thanks for your advice on removing the .part, but according to my experience, it is a incomplete download, just like the incomplete download in firefox browser, it has a .part after the file extention, hope I am wrong, thanks!
Just take this file Wholetones-Life-Love-And-Lullabies_04_444-Hz_All-The-Pretty-Horses_320-kbps.mp3 as an example, in the previous upload, the file size is 69.7 MB, in this upload, the file size only 29.6 MB, thanks!
Maybe a good idea to try the fix before saying it will not work ??
The MP3s start and end just as they should, which would NOT be so if the files were truncated.
I have tried and I know it can be play, just like the fourth mp3 (Wholetones-Life-Love-And-Lullabies_04_444-Hz_All-The-Pretty-Horses_320-kbps.mp3), it last about 30 minutes, but in this download, it is less than 13 minutes, just my 2 cents.
Interesting indeed.
Maybe something again happened to mess with PQ's upload ??
Paging PQ !!
How long are the MP3s really supposed to be ??
What I noticed most is that the largest part of the DL is the audiobook, which struck me as rather odd...?
Just wait for PQ to clarify, thanks!
Hi guys and gals,
Boy! I sure need to work on my sharing skills! Sorry that it was a mess. I don't know exactly how long each song is, but I think they're all about 30 minutes. Smithnowt, thanks for your instructions to help with the download. Deep Zen, I will see if there is a problem with All the Pretty Horses in the morning. I think is it definitely supposed to be longer than 13 minutes. That song is one of my favorites...:)
It's been a long day and I'm going to hit the sack soon. Talk to you tomorrow..
PQ :)
Thanks for replying PQ - and I hope when you see this again you've had a good night's rest !!
All of the included MP3 files did come with .part at their ends - and none are near to 30 minutes long.
Suggestion:
Make a sub-folder and place JUST the music MP3 files in there - skip the other stuff (PDF, audiobook zip...) so that you only have the 5 songs (?) MP3 files - then compress ONLY those.
Make a totally new upload for anyone who wants it whilst mentioning in the OP that the original upload has more info - but less music in it.
That is how I would do it for the sake of ease and time savings..
Thanks PQ, take your time, no hurry.
I just tried the great suggestion by DeepZen in Post #21 and it works perfectly.
For those who may not know exactly what to do, here's what I did based on DeepZen's
suggestion.
-Right click on the song, go down to "Rename"
-Take your mouse and click to the end of the file name ( after the "t" in part)
-Backspace the t, r, a. p and the period. You will have the .mp3 left at the end of the file name
If you right click on the next song to do the same, you will notice that the file you just changed will turn into an mp3 file. Done deal.

The method is suggested by smithnowt, not me.
