I would like to purchase a song on the internet. Being a musician myself, I understand what a copyright is and I will gladly pay for this song. However, I don't want to download anything like Napster to be able to get this song. I just want to pay for and download a song. Can someone suggest where or how I might go about this? TIA.

If you have realplayer, you can buy it at their online store without downloading any program. Here's a direct link.

Or, what song are you looking for? You may be able to download it legally on the internet.

Just to be clear, you want it on you computer, so no streaming, right?

Hi jusork! I knew you'd be able to help me!

I want Jet's song Be My Girl. (At least, I think that's the name of it.) And I would like to be able to burn it to a cd if that's possible. Thanks!

That would be Are You Gonna Be My Girl?

I found a few mp3s. Here's one of the best ones I've found. Just right click and save as.

And just to note, you're allowed to burn the songs you buy in realplayer, too.

Enjoy.

And this is totally legal? Sweet! Thanks jusork!

Copyright isn't worried about on the internet as much so it's not considered illegal. Probably because of the whole free exchange of the internet.

Okay, I must be doing something wrong, because I can't figure out how to save it.

Did you get to the clicking 'save as' part?

Well, if I right click, it says 'save as source' but it's grayed out.

Hmm. Are there any other buttons in the drop down list that it might be? Anything with 'download,' maybe?

Nothing that I can see. I was able to save it once, but it didn't save the song. Just the webpage with gibberish. Now I can't even do that. Any ideas?

Are you able to save it?

Yeah, I'm able to save it. Maybe try a different file. Click.

Same scenario.

If you can save it, could you possibly email it to me? Or is that a no-no?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's okay. Just a minute.

Did you get the e-mail?

I have the same problem Jenni - can't save it - but it's automatically saved on my harddrive in a temporarary internet folder. Every internet item I see is saved - until I delete them. I found the above file in my Documents and Setting Folder>gjennings (your name instead)>Local Settings>Temporary Internet Files>Content >IE5>7RTJR1G8
The last 2 files will prob be diff for you but just look in all your Temporary Internet files. Best way to find it is to go ahead and click on Justin's link and then go look for it - sort all files by Modified date and time. The MP3 file will show at the most recent date and will have the media player icon and the name of "willyoubemygirl"

Actually, this is a neat trick to save mpegs and such when they are not typically available for saving

try itunes.com
im pretty sure they are PC compatable now too.
