Help for playing MP3s

Hi! If you have come to this page, you might be looking for help on how to get our MP3 sound clips to play. Some web browsers are configured to play an MP3 just by clicking on the link.

If this first approach does not work for you, you can save an MP3 to your computer, then launch the MP3 clip from whatever MP3 player you use on your computer. Here's how using a Microsoft Windows computer:
Sorry to other computer users...*some* day we'll get mac and linux browsers tested.

General Instructions

For most browsers, you can right-click on the MP3 link, then choose a command to save the file. Each browser has a different command, but they all basically work the same way.


  a) Right-click on the MP3 link, then from the context menu, choose
     "Save Target As..." (or similar command).

     (This will open a Save As window that allows you to choose
      a location where you can save the file). 

  b) Using the Save As window, select the location on your computer
     where you would like to save the MP3, then click Save.

  c) Open up your program that plays MP3s, click File, Open.

  d) Navigate to the location to which you saved the file in step (a).

Below are specific examples for some of the popular browsers:

MS Internet Explorer

  a) Right-click on the MP3 link, then from the context menu, choose
     "Save Target As...".

Mozilla Firefox

  a) Right-click on the MP3 link, then from the context menu, choose
     "Save Link As...".

Opera

  a) Right-click on the MP3 link, then from the context menu, choose
     "Save Target As...".

Saving the file

Once you have started to save the MP3, a dialogue opens asking you for the location to save the MP3. It is a standard Save As dialogue, which looks like the image below. Use it to navigate on your computer to the location you want to store the MP3.
