Title: Podcasts Post by: RED-DOG on December 14, 2009, 06:45:49 PM When I download music, I just drag the mp3 file across to my player, (In this case, the memory card of my mobile phone) Drop it, and play it. Simples.
Now, can I do the same with podcasts, and if so, how? At the moment, when I try to download one, it doesn't seem to be in an mp3 format, it just opens a quick time player and begins to play rather than downloading to anywhere that I can locate it. Hope that's clear ;nanana; ;dingdell; Title: Re: Podcasts Post by: feedthegoat on December 14, 2009, 07:03:28 PM If you right click the podcast link on your mouse you should get the option "save target as" which should let you download it.

It's a link to the MP3 file. Title: Re: Podcasts Post by: RED-DOG on December 15, 2009, 11:03:06 AM If I right click, I get a box with these options.
Open link in new window Open link in new tab Bookmark this link Save link as Send link Copy link location Properties I'm using Firefox. Title: Re: Podcasts Post by: Tractor on December 15, 2009, 11:32:59 AM Just tried it in Firefox...
"save link as" saves the mp3 file into download folder as it would any file. Title: Re: Podcasts Post by: Linux on December 15, 2009, 11:35:02 AM Yea, works for me on FF as well
Title: Re: Podcasts Post by: RED-DOG on December 15, 2009, 11:38:42 AM Yep. Works perfectly for me too. (I told you it would)
