Need Help Downloading

Post by S Pickens »

Could someone please give me a quick lesson on how to download .mp3 files off the internet to my hard drive so I can then write it to a CD? My new CPU has a CD writer complete with Adaptec software that I'm anxious to use. Seems that when I click on "download" on various music sites it just streams the file to me and appears playable only over the internet. It doesn't give me an option of saving it to my hard drive. Thanks for any advice. S.P.

I'm not used to mp3 files, but try right clicking on the file. You should get an option to "Save Target As". At least that's how I save pictures and sound files to my disk.
