Mac Downloads
To download an MP3 file to your computer, first try simply clicking the link. Newer versions of Safari and Firefox will automatically detect the type of file you're attempting to download and will ask you where you'd like to save the file. If this doesn't work, hold down the mouse button or command-click on the link or button for the file you'd like to download, and select Save Link As...

If you are still having problems with downloading MP3 files even after trying these steps, contact Customer Service with a detailed description of your problem so that we may further assist you.

MP3 Download Book
If you have purchased an MP3 Download book, you can download the file from your Order Status. Simply select your order number and click the "Download Product" link in your order or right-click on the "Download Product" link and click Save Target As in Microsoft Internet Explorer or Save Link As in Mozilla Firefox.

You can save the download file anywhere you like but you should make sure to remember the location or the name of the downloaded file. Most people find it easiest to save their download file on their Desktop.

Once the download starts, you will see a pop-up with a status bar and a percentage that will climb to 100%.

Once you finish downloading the file it will be saved in the default "Save As" location specified by your browser, or the location you selected in the "Save As" window that appeared when the download began. If you know the name of the download file, you can search for the file on your computer.

If the zip file won't open or states it is corrupt, your download did not complete. Please note the zip file will take time to download. If your ISP has a bad connection and times out before your download completes, please resume the download. We recommend you use Firefox as your web browser because it can resume downloads.

You can also transfer these files to any portable media device like the iPod or other MP3 players.
