WinRAR problem

So im trying to compress some Mp3 files with winrar but it keeps saying access denied but nothing else and wont let me?

Anyone have any tips on this as its the first time ive actually used it to compress rather then just extract.

thanks

    Hi
    My tip is:-
    Don't try to compress mp3 files, they're already compressed.

    I know that. What im trying to do is get a few together into one folder and compress that down so i can upload it for someone else to listen to. but winzip doesnt like it either

    Hi
    With Windows XP, right-click the folder then 'Send To' Compressed (zipped) folder.
