Need to change Deflation/Compression level "zipping" in Windows XP

I need to change the deflation/compression level to none when "zipping" a
folder in Windows XP Pro. I am using the built-in Zip utility for the OS. How
can I make it zip the files in a folder so my karaoke software can read the
MP3+CDG from a zip folder without compressing it? I tried third party
zipping, but the player does not recognize it either?? The player recognizes
zip folder as a file to play, but not if they are compressed. The files
within cannot be deflated. Please help me?? Thanks

Both WinZip and WinRAR will let you do what you want. WinZIP has an option
for Compression of "None" when you add files to the zip. And WinRAR lets you
set the speed to "store". And both have 64-bit versions. Of the two, I like
WinRAR slightly better. Probably because they were the first to give us full
64-bit support.

Charlie,
We do agree on WinRAR.
Simply the best! (was that Tina Turner?)

An x64 "friendly" 32-bit program.

Yeah, I run both here. Not because I need to - WinRAR does zips as well as
WinZIP. But I actually think WinZip is a bit faster.

7-zip will also do what need. The UI is not as nice as WinZip and
WinRAR, but it has an x64 version and it's free.
