I did some checking on the internet and it appears that one can download from the App Store a free version of Winzip and unzip the zip file with it. It sounds like this is a simple solution for the recipient of my zip file to access the files within. We will try it.

Hi Rich,

If the recipient has Voice dream Reader, they should be able to choose to open 
the file using that app. It can handle zip files just fine.

If they don't have VDR, I would suggest sharing a Dropbox folder with the 
recipient. If the recipient favorites the files, the files will be downloaded 
to the recipient's iPad. I'm pretty sure it's also possible to move files from 
one Dropbox folder to another using the Dropbox app, so the recipient could do 
that.

Best,
Anna

I want to send about fifteen MP3 files, each about 5 megs in size.  My initial 
plan was to zip them up into a zip file and send a public link to the recipient 
to my Dropbox.  However, the iPad recipient was unable to do anything with that 
zip file.  My idea now is to send each MP3 as an email attachment.  I gather 
this will enable the recipient to play them, but not to save them to the iPad 
as music files.  Apparently, that can only be done through iTunes on a 
computer.  That is where it stands now.

Rich,

How many MP3s do you plan to send and what is the total size?  Can the
MP3s stream or must they be downloaded to the other person's device?
Please offer more information to identify a realistic solution.

I need to send some MP3 music files from my computer to someone
exclusively using an iPad or iPhone.  What is the best way to do this
and what will the recipient need by way of apps?  Should I just send
each one as an email attachment?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
