Hi Rosemary,
You are right, but this is a browser issue, not of a website. Your browser has
predefined actions for many file types. By default, your browser chose to give
you a File dialogue if you click on an mp3. By installing Quick-Time, this
program overwrites your browser's setting, and makes itself the default
application to be used when clicking on an mp3. This is essentially an annoying
feature of Quick-time, but you can change your browser's setting if you wish.
On the other hand, try right-clicking in other pieces of software. Most
software packages, including Word, Excel, and the like, hide many features
under the right-click. Usually some menu pops up with many choices. It's worth
trying it out!
cheers,
Bob
