YES! Me too! I thought that was pretty obvious, eh? I took a
  look inside
the zip file (wishyouwerehere.zip), and it was a file named Music.exe.
  
   Hmm, double click on that Music.exe and tell us what it does would you?
  
  
 
  Sure...better yet, my diagnostic skills probably aren't on par with yours,
