    when i try to extract audio files or any files for that matter out of a RAR archive, i get an error saying the header file is corrupt. it is very annoying considering almost everything i download now is RAR and i cant access any of it. any help?

    A program for recovering lost or forgotten passwords for RAR/WinRAR archives. Supports the customizable "brute-force" and dictionary-based attacks. Multilanguage interface is provided.
    Anyway, here is a brief list of ARPR's advantages:
    The program has a convenient user interface
    The program can work with archives containing only one encrypted file
    All compression methods are supported
    Self-extracting archives are supported
    The program is customizable: you can set the password length (or length range), the character set to be used to generate the passwords, and a lot of other options
    You can select the custom character set for brute-force attack (non-English characters are supported)
    Dictionary-based attack is available
    The "brute-force with mask" attack is available
    No special virtual memory requirements
    You can interrupt the program at any time, and restart from the same point later
    The program can work in the background, using the CPU only when it is in idle state

    This can be found at the link below, it seems as though there is a password needed for accessing these files.

    How large are these audio files to necessitate RAR? Are these whole albums?

    RAR is the same as ZIP, it's just Ford & Chevy you know?
    Neither will compress music files any more than they already are, but it's convenient to group a bunch of smaller files together ie. for download.
    I have WinRAR 3.30.
    There is some issue, I have heard of these errors when using a previous version, make sure you have the latest
