Downloading + Saving MP3's

When I play an MP3 , from mp3.com for example, it plays on WM7., how do I save it to my H.D.?

 

I use Total Recorder:

Thank you rwmol, that looks like a neat application, but how do I save mp3's as mp'3?

 

mp3

Can you explain your prob a bit fuller? Saving MP3 as MP3? Aren't they already "blah blah.mp3 "

 

The file, while downloaded might be recognized as an MP3. But once completely downloaded, it is an MP3 file. You save it like any other file, in a folder.

Or if it's over your head, mp3 is the file extension. It is a file format like .jpg is a file format for graphics. To save it to a desired folder, you first have to find the folder to where it was downloaded

Programs, like WMP and WinAmp associate the location of the folder. In addition, I use Direct CD (a packet writing program) to save my MP3s to CD. The Melissa virus likes to eat MP3s. I only use a 56K dialup. I don't want to lose my files.

 

If I understand right, you want to know how to save an mp3 instead of, or after opening it in WMP7 from an internet link.

In WMP6.4 after playing an .mp3 you simply click on File, then "save as" then save the file as usual. I'm guessing that WMP7 should be similar.

If you have not yet clicked on the .mp3 link to open it in WMP, here is how to save the file, from http://www.mangossubic.com/greatest_hits1.htm (where there are a number of "classic" mp3 files available for free download):

Download Instructions

Right click on the mp3 files and select Save Target As to download to your hard drive. This will allow you to save the file without the media player trying to open it. Once you save the file to disk you can then log off the internet and open the file from the location you saved it to on your drive.
