Anyone help me with this?when I unrarx files on the mac, of albums, it just gives me an empty folder, but when i click info on the folder it shows its 80 megs, and when i drag it into itunes, the songs come up, but i can't see them in the finder??? weird...if i click each file in itunes and make it "show in finder" they miraculously appear one by one...anyone else have this problem or know a fix?b

    the files probably have a . before the filename which hides them in osx. I use filebuddy to rename files like that.

    I just checked them out, no "." in the front ??? dumbfounded and pissed off argh!

    no I mean the original files, not the ones that got copied into itunes, I would assume those ones were renamed upon import. As far as I know there's no way to check them without an app like filebuddy or resorcerer or any of the apps that can view hidden files.

    The thing is, I didn't import them into itunes, I just created a playlist referencing the original files... also when rar extracted them they didn't have the "."... this happens nearly everytime i extract archives of mp3s...

    I just checked the permissions and all is straight on that.... I'll get filebuddy and check it, thanks for your help hommie... im sure there must be a simple solution or maybe this unrarx is plain dumbo

    that is strange, might check your prefs in unrarx, or try using macpardeluxe, that one is pretty good as well.

    have you tried different views in the finder? Sometimes files can be hiding on the side but when you use the triple column view they show up.

    I just got a seizure from watching Daze & Sheep's avatars go at it
