Just because you have an MP3 player doesn't mean Netscape is going to know what to do with it. The simplest thing to do is hold down option and click on the link to the MP3 file. That'll force Navigator (Communicator or whatever) to download the file in a seperate window and save it as a file, rather than trying to process it within the program. After the download is complete, drop the file on the MP3 player. Yay. Happy happy, joy joy.
