How to open an html file with data in it?

Hello! I have downloaded from internet, legally, 2 music albums each 120
mb each! However, they are in html format and cannot manage to extract
the files that are in it! I am sure that there is someway to take the
tracks from these files but I knew that html are internet files! When I
double click on these html files which are supposed to have the music in
it, automatically I am forwarded to a web page that never loads and
moreover the PC freezes!
Please help!:sleepy:

Open the html files in a text editor and find the resources for the data
files.

A html file is just a plain text file. No data can be stored in one.
It can provide a link to a file, of course.

Something's wrong here. An HTML file cannot contain music, though it
may very well have links to *.mp3 files or other sound files. On the
other hand, it's EXTREMELY unlikely that any HTML file would be 120MB.

So you need to figure out what those files are. Are the extensions
*.html or something else? Exactly how did you obtain them?

There are at least two ways of storing data in a file. One is to use MIME
like in Email messages (mht is the extension). Second is to encode the data
in the link which I've seen done.

I would guess that they are really misnamed audio files. I would try
renaming them to *.mp3 or *.zip or whatever format they were expected
to be in.

The 'file' command would be useful for ascertaining what they really are.
Oh - that's only *nix.

Yeah, that's where I was heading. I was trying to get OP to supply
enough information to figure out just what the files are.
