Why? usually the audio records are already well compressed. Further compressing them with ZIP algorithm does not noticeably improve compression and may only annoy some users. Better download files as is.

you can achieve it by using zipFile class

create a string array that stores the selected songs.

C#

private void MakeZip(string fname)
        {
            using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
            {
                string pathname = Server.MapPath("~/FileUpload/ZipFile/");
                string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(pathname);//here add your selected songs file path

                 foreach (string filename in filenames)
                 {

                ZipEntry e = zip.AddFile(filename,"");
                  }
                zip.Save(Server.MapPath("~/Zips/abc.zip"));
            }
        }

First please see my comment to the question and make sure you really want what you asked about.

You have several options to work with ZIP. If you use .NET v.4.5, the first choice can be this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.zipfile%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

If you use older versions of .NET, there a 3rd-party options.

You can use #ziplib:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sharpziplib/[^].
Another option is using SevenZipSharp, a .NET wrapper of the famous 7-Zip:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Zip[^],
http://sevenzipsharp.codeplex.com/[^].
Another option is SharpCompress, a fully native .NET library for several compression formats:
http://sharpcompress.codeplex.com[^],
https://github.com/adamhathcock/sharpcompress[^].

All three options are open-source. I would recommend to include source project in your solution.
