Downloading sound files from Xeno Canto

["Rosemary Royle" <>]

Exactly how to get it to work depends on what operating system and version you 
have on your PC. For a while we could not get it to work at all and had to 
contact Xeno-Canto support!!

We have Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 with Windows Media Player (no iTunes)

If you simply click on the little "Save" symbol (a floppy disc) then on this 
configuration it does not Save directly but fires up Media Player and plays the 
track.  However, from within Media Player you can then stop it playing and 
then, from within Media Player, simply do "File, Save as .." and you can save 
the mp3 file wherever you want. 

A simpler alternative is to Right-click on the Disc symbol and select "Save 
Target as ....". 

These seem to work at present!
