First, thanks so much to everyone who has offered assistance withthis so far. Now, I am beginning to feel totally incompetent but I downloaded an mp3 player for mac and tried again with the same results. I tried going to a site where there were other mpeg files and I get the same result. When I click on the image or message to download the mpeg, I get a gray screen with horizontal and vertical scroll bars. No download in progress, nothing. I downside my navigator to look at my mpeg player just in case, nothing. I open the window in my mpeg player to see if the file downloaded miraculously fast but of course it did not. No audio and no files. What could I be doing wrong? Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar to this? I am using a fast modem, a 200 mhz mac, 48 megs of ram and the most recent Netscape. I really am confused by this. steve

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.
