You can delete the .zip file once you have it unzipped on your jukebox
(unlesss you want to keep a backup copy there - your call). You can
examine the contents of the .m3u file with any text editor (e.g., notepad)
and see if the contents look normal. It should just contain a list of
files to be played, and perhaps some comment lines (starting with # signs)
in between. The .m3u file can be deleted (or renamed, or moved), unless it
contains a playlist that you want.

This often happens the first time you click on the icon - try clicking on
it a second time.

Possibly - you can check the disk with the usual windows tools. Right
click on the drive, select "Properties", and then go to the "Tools" tab,
IIRC. Unless a file was open or being accessed when you unplugged the
unit, you're probably OK.
