Internet Explorer users should right-click the song and choose "Save Target As..."
Firefox & Netscape users should right-click it and choose "Save Link Target As..."

Left clicking a song should play it without downloading it - but this seems
to vary between WAVs and MIDIs, as well as from one browser to another -
and even from one computer to another. I have no idea why.
It pays to experiment.

I am sometimes asked if it's legal to download songs found on
various non-commercial sites, such as this one.

Well, I'm neither a lawyer nor a technician,
and I've begun to wonder if it was legal for
us to tape music off the radio back when
tape recorders first came into being.

And were we committing a crime when we recorded
a movie shown on TV with our VCRs? And was it
really legal to buy a dual-deck recorder for the
express purpose of duplicating cassettes?

My answer to all of the above is, "I don't know."

Nonetheless, here is a formal statement in
some kind of legalese that appears to apply
to this kind of file availability:
