WinRAR is more-or-less the same as Winzip,
except that you can create uncompressed (a la 'TARs') archives. These are
basically a group of files all stuck together in one big file. The
difference is, as there's no compression, it's much easier to recover the
individual files.
You can download WinRAR here (it's
shareware): http://www.rarlab.com/ -
many people (including myself) find its interface a lot more user friendly than
WinZip's too...

Unfortunately, Paul, that's a bit too technical for me. Can
you explain a more join-the-dots way, for instance: how do I set up a
winrar file of mp3s?

I would still recommend using a program like QuickPar to create
recovery files in case a track is unreadable.
My usual method of archiving is to store the files as a multiple WinRar
archive (uncompressed), the use QuickPar to make recovery files. If
one of the archive files become unreadable for some reason, QuickPar will be
able to recreate the file and all is good.
