So, if I get these, what do I do to make them usable?
They don't work anywhere.

uhhh. right click on them and select "unzip" Your computer SHOULD do that already, but if not, then you'll need to download Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/

What I have to do is right-click and click "Extract All" then I can imprt the extracted file into WMM.

And now that you have two of the same file, you can delete the .ZIP and keep the extracted. Does that make sense?

Ive been having the same problems too. I can easily unzip them or what ever if they are from sites like Evangeline-lilly.net or Josh holloway or Dom Monaghan sitesbut when it comes to Lost media site i cant. I click "Extract here" but yet when it does this it still opens in Real Player which i then cant use in WMM

odd, they shouldn't be unzipping and then opening automatically :/ try the different unzipping methods it gives until you get one that just gives you a folder with the file in it. Then you can right click on it and "open with" with the player you want.

But if these are already RM files (like most from Lost Media) then there's nothing we can really do. RM files only open with Realmedia (unless you have Realalternative... but nevermind that).

You could change the files from RM to another type... but that's a big long difficult process, so nevermind.
