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;

If you right click the podcast link on your mouse you should get the option "save target as" which should let you download it.

That just seems to let you save the link.

Ok. One step at a time. how do I open the file in Real Player?

One of these short ones will do as an experiment.

But it works though - just did it on your Russian business news links

As Andrew said, right click, "save target as" works...But depends on what browser you are using.
What browser are you using?

Just tried it in Firefox...
"save link as" saves the mp3 file into download folder as it would any file.

It totally is.

Tis an 'In Memoriam' - as of tomorrow old school Teletext will be gone forever.
