One of the simplest methods to Download MP3 file is to right go through the link on the file and choose "Save file/target/link as... or Download link" This is true for Windows and Linux. For Mac OS X, you need to hold down the option key and click on the link to the MP3 file. The file can then be downloaded onto the desktop.

Firefox is the recommended browser to download these files. They can also be easily downloaded using program or accelerator. Performing a left click will play the file in your Windows Media Player and not save it. You can then develop a special directory for several MP3 files so that you usually do not lose any files.

Webmasters are smart enough plus they usually upload files with unusual file extensions so that they can't be deleted by server administrators. Such MP3 files could be downloaded in the standard fashion but they should be renamed to help you play it when it's stored in your hard disk. Another way is to unzip the file using Winzip if the file has a.zip or.gz extension. Renaming these files should be done carefully. You need to first choose the file in Windows Explorer. Then press  tubidy  and rename the extension as.MP3. Sometimes, this extension change will not show up because Windows is hiding the filename extension. The next thing is to visit the View menu and go through the Folder Options. Choose the View tab and click on "Hide file extensions for known file types". If this can not work, the last resort would be to open the MS-Dos window and visit the MP3 directory.
