Windows IE Problems...
OK so when you go to the page and are prompted to open the downloaded file cancel out of the error pages.
Hit the extract button the all files selection will be already checked go ahead and extract and it should work just fine.
There should be a folder on your desktop

Ok what is the duration for the track? and there is nothing but beat samples, would be good to throw in some other samples as well.

Those beat samples can be stretched, pitched, and manipulated to make a cool track. I was thinking 1-2 minutes. I've been working with these sounds and have come up with some great stuff. Good luck! Im extending this until August 14th. Bring it!

Sounds cool, are these samples too minimal for you guys to make a track purely from them? I use the MPC so there is alot of stuff you can do with them. I do understand not all of us are MPC users! Let me know..
Good news!

Plenty of time then.
Although it is hard to get a decent lead out of the samples.
