Some people that use Mac put characters in folder/file names that can't be used in some Operating Systems, such as the question mark. If you open the zip file in an extracting utility, look at the names and see if you need to rename the files within the zip file.

Looks like you do not have write permission to your local folder. Move the archive you your desktop and attempt to extract it there. Alternatively, extract from it's current location, but extract it to your desktop.

Those folder paths look like you're using Vista. It is rather protective of certain folders that are commonly abused by malicious software. I'd suggest the same thing Lysdestic suggested in that you move your main songs folder to your desktop or someplace else in your user profile (ie. My Documents).

No, some of us here love helping. Others, however, love saying "search first, noob! lulz!" just to increase their post count.

Anyway, glad you've got it sorted. :)
