If something is in a QuickTime player thing on a webpage, is there any way to save that file to your harddrive without buying the upgrade thing of QuickTime that lets you do it legitimately?

For example, there's this amusing mix a fan made, and I want to save it to my computer because I thought it was neat:
http://www.darangutan.dsl.pipex.com/tmbg/F...antsToHitMe.mp3

Any ideas on how to go about doing this?

Right click it and click Save Target As?

if that doesn't work, on a pc you can right click and chose view page info then the video file should be listed under the media tab then if you've got a downloading program you can paste the URL in there and it can download it from there. or if you don't have a downloading program you can paste the url into your web browser then chose save page and it should created a folder on your hardrive with the video file in there somewhere

It's an MP3, not a webpage.

yewah but an mp3 on a webpage is still gonna have a url like www.soundclips/clownfart/pllopy.mp3

ok,,, that was interesting.

(it downloaded just fine for me, btw. i just did 'download to disk', but i'm on a Mac, so who knows)

Both suggestions are accurate and valid. If the link itself points directly to an mp3, as your link does, you can right-click on it (or on a mac, option-click on it) and save it to your hard drive.

If the content you want is on a web page, but you don't have a specific URL for it, Horrid's suggestion is the best way to find where the content is coming from. It's amazing how much stuff you can hoard with some simple exploration.

When you view the source code, it just comes out as a bunch of gibberish, so it must be encrypted or something. Sneaky bums. 'Cause yeah, I tried that.

Just right clicking the link and saving it worked, though. Dunno why I didn't think of that before. Thanks.

That's an MP3, so it doesn't have source code. Only websites do. What you saw was just the browser trying to pretend that the music was actually a website.

Ah.
