Hello Eamonn. Using Winzip to compress your mp3 files will, in fact,
cause the mp3 files to take more space than they do as ordinary mp3 files.
The only reason to use winzip to package up the mp3 files is if you feel
the need to copy around a bunch of files conveniently.
As a second choice, you might consider buying an external hard disk to
put your mp3 files on. Or, alternatively, you could burn them to CD,
where they could sit in perpetuity until you need them.
