It doesn't look like it's downloading Excel files to me. Have you tried adding the extensions ".mp3" to the files?

Hey Chuck

Thanks, I'll Try that!!!

Right now it shows up as a Binary File when I download using FireFox 1.02, and when I try to move that file into iTunes it Won't move. When I Double Click it, it tries to Start Excel...


Thanks Again!!!

I just downloaded an AAC file without problem. It came over as .m4a. Are you sure you're clicking on the right thing?

Some browsers mangle filenames when you download. I have a feeling that's what's happening, which is why I suggested changing the extension.

Hey Chuckit

That worked out GREAT!!! Just changed the ending to .MP3, never thought of that kind of thing since Windows...hahaha

I was reading that I can use the Music for Free if for personal use... But was wondering if I use it for my Family DVD's(Kids and Stuff)for them when they start there Families, Don't mine Paying, but can I wait to pay until I get enough Music to use on my DVD's???


Thanks Again!!!
