Links to download MP3 files

Hi, Ever since I installed iTunes/QuickTime I am not able to click on a link (MP3 file) in a website and have it download to a file on my computer. Now when I click QuickTime just opens it for me to listen to. I don't want this and I selected No for QuickTime to be my default player. When I unstill iTunes/QuickTime I am able to click on the link which allows me to save the MP3 file in the folder I want. I don't see any options to change this. I want iTunes/QuickTime and I want to download the link the way I have always been able to. Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Save link as option vanished in firefox 17.0.So now not able to download mp3 files.Instead click on mp3 files starts playing in some black player in firefox.
Earlier i was able to download mp3 files by pressing on link for some time and menu popus up "Save link as" but after recent update that option is gone.
That option is desperately needed.
One more thing is MP3 file start playing in black player on firefox when i actually want to download them and then play it.
fix this issue ASAP.

I still have the "Save link as" option in my context menu with FF 17. Maybe something went wrong with the update?

Configuration to "Always ask" fails when downloading MP3 files.

Why doesn't the configuration to "Always ask" prevent the automatic playing of a downloaded MP3 file?
In Firefox 3.6.8 "Options" window, "Applications" tab, for "Content Type" "MP3 file (application/itunes)" and "MP3 file (audio/mpeg)," the selected action is "Always ask" for both.
VLC Multimedia Plug-in 1.1.0.99 is installed and enabled to play the MP3 files.
At different websites offering podcasts via MP3 files, clicking a "Download MP3/4" button or a "mp3" link causes the file to play automatically in Firefox. No dialog window opens asking what to do with the file.
Given the configuration, why doesn't Firefox launch an "Opening " dialog window that asks whether to open or save the file?
Other than disabling the VLC plug-in, how can Firefox be configured to "Always ask" and make it work?
Operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
Thank you.

ctrl-click on the link to the file and select "Download Linked File". Once the file has downloaded onto your computer, you can then add it to your iTunes library.

DownThemAll; Once I have downloaded mp3 files into the DownThemAll window, how do I move or export them to my iTunes library?

'''I successfully downloaded mp3 files using DownThemAll into the Window that pops up. How to I export these files into i\my iTunes library?'''

Try running these MP3's through MP3 validator to check for any sort of missing or corrupted tags, etc.

Mozilla firefox get hang , when i click on a link to download a file using Interenet Download manager. any solution??

When i click on any link to download a file ( software, document etc.) using idm , the firefox get hang for sometime till the download dialogue box don't come. any solution to this problem.??

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Cannot download Mp3 files and some other format

Hi people,
I cannot download Mp3 files and many other files. I cannot update my Ovi Store app and pretty much everything else. I can download pdf and zip using opera but almost everything else (including mp3 and sis files) redirects to Nokia browser which just freezes no download. I have tried another same model phone E72 and no problem.
It seem my browser is corrupt and can't find way to reinstall.
Also why don't nokia let us download with browser of our choice? I would rather use opera than inbuilt one
Stefano

Hi evstevemd
Apart from loss of data issue in the circumstances you may have to either "hard reset" or re-install existing firmware to eliminate possible software corruption.

HELP! quicktime cant download mp3 file

Hello all i really need help. Before i had a old version of iTunes and quicktime and i was able to download audio files from this website by clicking on the audio file link - then a little box would come up asking me whether i wanted to open or save the audio file (i could nominate where to save it to on my laptop) and then i'd click save to download the audio file.
Recently ive been connecting my iPod touch so i downloaded the new version of iTunes and quicktime and suddenly i can't download the audio files anymore - it just goes ahead and plays it on the webpage. Someone told me to go to Quicktime settings --> quicktime player settings --> browser and untick the box that plays videos automatically (the audio files that i have been accessing sort of come up like a video except there's no movie to it) but it still doesn't work. Can someone please tell me what other settings i need to fix up?
now when i want to download the audio files, i actually have to delete Quicktime first..and then download quicktime again so i can actually listen to the audio files in iTunes!
Thank you so much!!

Right click on the file. Open in a new tab if doesn't offer to save. Then in the new window click on File and Save As. It worked for me. I got the answer by searching Quicktime mp3 in the search discussions box on the right. (it's tagged as "Quicktime download"

How to download mp3 files into iTunes

This question differs from, but is related to subscribing to podcasts (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2124335&tstart).
Rather than subscribing to a podcast, I just want to download a story http://transmissionsfrombeyond.com/podpresstrac/web/121/0/TFB_020TheWatersOfMeribah.mp3, hosted at http://transmissionsfrombeyond.com/2009/08/transmission20. I did File->AddFileToLibrary. The dialogue box that came up was pointing at a temporary internet file folder. For the file name, I provided the URL above, but all that happened was that it downloaded 2 files into the temporary internet file folder:
TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[1].mp3
TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[2].mp3
Why are there 2 parts?
I tried to drag them to the iTunes Podcasts area, then try to drag it to the Podcast entry in the navigation panel along the left. Neither action resulted in the appearance of the files in iTunes.
I tried to find where iTunes stores its files. It seems to be at "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music", though the folder structure in no way mirrors the 6 iTunes libraries (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Applications, Radio). Previously suscribed podcasts had corresponding folders in the Podcasts subfolder, but there were no subfolders for the other five libraries.
I dragged the two mp3's into the Podcasts subfolder, but it didn't show up in iTunes. I then emulated the previously subscribed podcasts by creating a TheWatersOfMeribah folder within the Podcasts subfolder, then dragged the mp3's into that folder. Again, no joy.
Surely, I doing something very wrong. What is the way to download mp3's into one's iPod Touch?

Apple rejects my alias wrote:
That's the thing, it's not a subscription podcast. It's just an mp3 file. Entering a URL as worked for subscription podcasts, but hasn't worked for the URL of the mp3 file.
No, it won't!
I've checked the links you provided and the problem is - they are not Podcasts (as you noted), despite what the text on the page says. In order to get these programmes into the Podcast section of iTunes, they must be downloaded _as Podcasts._ So why not get the Podcast?
First, let's get the Podcast, then I'll explain what the problem has been.
To actually get the Podcast; on the pages you linked, look for and click on the *iTunes/1 click* button, just above the donate button. You may get a dialogue box appear that says "This link needs to open an application. Send to:" and one of the choices should be iTunes - choose it. That step may be skipped and you may go straight to iTunes.
When iTunes does open, it should go to the *iTunes Store/Podcasts/.../Transmissions From Beyond* page, where you can select individual episodes or subscribe to the complete series. Make your choice. The advantage of subscribing is that iTunes will then do all the work of finding new episodes, downloading them and syncing them to your iPod.
An alternative is to search in the iTunes Store for "Transmissions From Beyond" which will find the Podcast. I've just done this, so I know it works!
Now, what was the problem?
On the pages you linked to, the authors keep referring to everything as a Podcast, but an mp3 file _is only a Podcast_ if it's downloaded through a "Podcast catcher", such as iTunes. This whole process then keeps track of new episodes and can also automate the removal of an episode that you have listened to if you wish. (See the options in the Podcast tab of your iPod when you connect it to iTunes.)
If you download the mp3 files as you did, they are simply mp3 files, which will end up in the music section of your library, perhaps with a genre of Podcast. (To be a Podcast, the file needs to have a *Media Kind* of Podcast, not the genre. A Podcast can have any genre, speech, music, drama etc.)
As you have seen, even the content providers are mis-informed about what a Podcast is.
By the way, when you tried "entering the URL" - iTunes will only recognise valid *Podcast Feed URLs,* but not the location of an mp3 file. The enter URL option is useful if you have the *Podcast Feed* of a Podcast that is not listed in the iTunes Store.
Finally, in fact you have downloaded the mp3 file _three times._
The first time as TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah.mp3,
the second time as TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[1].mp3,
and a third time as TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[2].mp3

Prob with iTunes playing downloaded .mp3 file

Hi,
when I download a single 64Kbps MP3 file (song) from archive.org/audio, it will save to the desktop and look something like this: dtb2005-03-04d1t03_64kb.mp3 Then I try "add to library" in iTunes (5) and the song name appears, but it will be only a couple of KB and play for a split-second - that's all ... Any help, anyone ??
Thanks very much!
peace.
p.s. song will play on Safari page after download, but not after saving.

thanks Mike for the response ... I don't know what you mean by "find the cached file in Safari". I did search for anything of that filename (and Spotlight just found those tiny files) - And I have now updated to iTunes 6.0.1. ... and the exact same thing happens. I just get a 1.2KB tiny file in iTunes that goes "blip" and it's over.
I've noticed that the complete song in the Safari window has progress bar with volume and play at left, then the progress bar, then at the right there is a "down arrow" pull-down menu that has Quicktime options: "About Quicktime Plug-in", "Save as Source..." , "Save as Quicktime Movie...", "Plug-in Settings..." and "Connection Speed..." .
I tried the "Save as Source" - nothing happened. Same with "Save as QT movie".
The "Plug-in Settings..." takes me to some options, many of which are over my head ---- however, there is an option to Register or Buy QT Pro ... could this be what's necessary?
Under "Connection Speed" are also many options (don't understand most of them) but I did change to the slowest speed (since I have dial-up) ... and maybe I'll try to re-download something and see if there's a difference.
I appreciate your help - odd thing is, it used to work with single songs and it has recently worked with whole shows (came in Zip file or .flac) and those worked fine ....... but I only had a couple days' opportunity to use a high-speed connection.
Thanks again !
peace,
Rob

How do I download mp3 files to my music library from web sites. The music I want is not in iTunes Store?

I am trying to download non iTunes music directly to my tablet as I don't have a computer to download the music to before syncing with my tablet. I go to a web site that has mp3 music that I can download but it only plays while I am connected. I would have thought that from the safari browser I could have mp3 files open in the music app Locke it does for PDF files opening in iBooks.
I would rather not have to bother downloading another app when the functionality is already there, just does not appear to be working.

Thanks. Such is life.
I hope apple realizes that there is a whole group of people who don't have pc's and that cannot use iTunes to upload music to their tablets and phones and changes this soon.

How can I create a link to download a file in Captivate?

So, in my Captivate file, I want people to be able to download an XML file to their machine. If I create a hyperlink to "open a file", then when a user clicks on it, captivate attempts to open the xml file in a browser window instead of downloading it. I can't figure out how to use the download attribute for an href in captivate and I'm not sure if javascript to do this would execute properfly. Anybody know the best way to accomplish a force download of a file from a captivate presentation (Captivate 6)?
TIA.

If you want to really do this so that it is consistent for all browsers, you'll need to implement this at the server level. I did this with the Dynamic PDF Export Widget. Typically, a PDF will be displayed in the browser, but I added the ability to download it instead. It does require a PHP file (or some other server side script). In the PHP file, you'll want to set the response header for Content-Disposition to "attachment"... that's the key.
The elbow grease part has to do with managing how the browser handles the link. You'll want the Captivate hyperlink to open a new window so that the student does not navigate away from your course in the current window. But since you are opening a PHP file, you can inject javascript into the document of the new window/tab to close itself. The download will still continue eventhough the window/tab was programmatically closed. However, most modern browsers will automatically close the window/tab for you when downloading a file. If you want to see an example of a PHP file that implements this, go ahead and download the trial version of the Dynamic PDF Export widget. You'll see the create.php file in the zip package.
http://captivatedev.com/2012/07/25/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-dynamic-pdf-export/
If you want to go simple as TLC Media Design suggested, just zip it and let your students unzip the xml file, or just rename the xml file with a .zip extension and tell them to rename the file back to .xml after downloading.

Downloaded Mp3 files are in Firefox Downloads. How do I get them to MS Media Player?

I bought a CD with 12 songs (mp3) from CD Universe. This is about the 12th time I've bought and dowloaded a CD. I now realize Firefix was default set to dowmload mp3 to Quicktime add-on unbeknown to me. The files for all 12 songs are in Downloads (<CONTR>-j). Ive tried to move them and to copy/paste but nothing works. HELP!

Change your downloads to a download only file. Also, if you
go to the
'''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''''
and search for a download sorter.
They can sort by file extension and even by the web site.
