Zip Itunes Files

You can zip iTunes files to compress and consolidate the items into one location.

The iTunes folder on your computer may become quite large over time because iTunes files take up significant space. Adding music albums and cover art to your iTunes director can create a situation in which consolidation and compression are necessary to transport your iTunes files. You can use the WinZip software application to Zip your iTunes files and conserve space on whichever hard drive you place the zip file.

Instructions

1. Download the WinZip software application for your computer and install the program to your system.

2. Create a new folder on your computer and move all of the iTunes files you want to zip into that folder

3. Launch the WinZip program. Press the "Add" button in the main window to start a new Zip file. Use the navigation bar in the "Add" window to locate the folder in which you placed the iTune files. Highlight the folder and click the "Add" button.

4. Press "OK" in the "Add" window panel.

5. Test the new Zip file, which will have the same name as the iTunes folder, by double-clicking the icon; the WinZip application should open if the file has been zipped correctly.
