I'm trying to download an audio file from the Internet. I know the URL of the actual audio file, but there is no webpage that links to it, so there is no link that I can right-click on and do "Save Target As".

When I type the URL into my web browser (Internet Explorer 7) it launches Windows Media Player and starts playing the audio file, but I want to download it, I want a copy on the hard disk.

I checked the Temporary Internet Files, but the audio file is not there. Any suggestions as to how I can download it?

Create your own HTML page using a link. Save the following as an HTML file to your desktop and run it.
<a href="LINK HERE">Download</a>

Nice one ;) Sometimes the solution is so much simpler than we think... :thumb:

So, I assume you have downloaded the file. Good luck. :wave:

More recently, I discovered that Windows Media Player has a "Save As..." feature... now I feel really stupid... :o :o :o

I thought of that too but only had my Mac at the time so I couldn't remember exactly about WMP.
