I was actually in Win 7 using MSN Explorer, left clicking.
I went in IE(9) and tried it and WMP opens up but it does not ask about saving or opening. WMP opens and says: WMP cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
Ah, okay. Went back in (IE9) and tried again and did the right click, save target as, and it worked. Won't work with left click though.
Thank you!

I guess if one way doesn't work, you try the other, whether it's left-click or right-click. I'm not sure why IE8 would be different from IE9. I normally only use IE8 for Windows Updates. According to the ***Wikipedia***, MSN Explorer is essentially a graphics-heavy version of IE. I've never used it myself. At least you found a way to get your files.

I never use it either. In Firefox, I simple clicked and was listening in about 1/2 second. In IE 9, it was the same. These are Quicktime files, but the tab in my browsers said .mp3.
Once again, weeds are my life!
