Playing ZIPPED Files...
 

This question may have been answered in the past, but I will ask anyway.

Is there anyway of getting Winamp to play a Zipped File (*.zip) without having to actually uncompress it seperatley first??

Why I hear you ask, well the answer is simple...

I run a karaoke and am sick and tired of carrying around hundreds of discs, so I have extracted them to MP3+G format.
While the MP3 file is a small enough file the graphics part is rather large.. But when compressed I get up 5% saving on the MP3 and over 75% on the graphics, hence why I want to zip the files..

So can anyone help me just add a zip file into the winamp playlist and have it play.....?

Thanx in advance for any help, anyone can give.

why don't you compress the image? png, jpeg, gif, ...

Unfortunatly, the graphics file is not a image.
It contains all the lyrics and when and where they should be displayed.

Nice thought tho.. if only it was that simple.
