Yes, I had no problem. By my standards anyway.

The file has a long name that gets truncated in the mac OS. If you
shorten the name and put .mp3 at the end of it before downloading you
will get it properly mapped by your browser to whatever player you have
set. Downloading it with the long name leaves it associated with the
browser as a generic file. Which is what seems to have happened.

I actually downloaded it initially without changing the name, getting
the netscape icon on it. Then changed the file's type and creator to map
it to the mp3 player I normally use. I have at least 6 different apps
that can play mp3's, so sometimes have to remap them. Fairly routine
stuff around here.
