How to download an MP3 file.

Is there a good, active ng to talk about stuff like this, or can
someone here tell me:

What is the difference between downloading a podcast, subscribing to a
podcast, and just downloading an MP3 file like I used to do only 3
years ago.

It's getting harder and harder to just dl the mp3 file, like I want
to.



In this case NPR had a button marked Download, but instead of sending
the file to my Firefox-set download directory, it put the file in
C::\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp , a temp
directory!

And it started to play it as soon as download was complete, when I was
in the middle of listening to Diane Rehm.

Fortunately the Firefox download list has a right-mouse-key option
called "Open Containgi Folder" or I would have had to hunt hard for
the file.

I would like to just dl the files to my regular download directory,
then copy them to a flash drive and play them in my car.

Thanks.
