Unhappy RAR file ????????

I have just downloaded a music file from the internet... I've just gone to play it back, and now find that i can't.
It's an RAR file - I have both winamp & windows media player..
Is there a way I can convert this into a file that I can open ??
I'm using windows XP.

Any help with this would be fantastic - THANKS !!!

a RAR file is supposed to be a zipped file, but it currupted when you downloaded it, so you can't use it, but you can try and convert it, but i doubt it will work

RAR is a Zip format just like winzip but in my opinion better. Winrar will not only read winzip but will also open and read PHP files. Excellent program, I use instead of Winzip.
Angelpaw54 is mistaken about it being a corrupted extension.
