For all you computery types.

Reet, I was listening to some choons on garagebands.com and I clicked on downlaod MP3 which opened a new window which had nothing in it but a little quicktime control bar and played the tune. I was under the impression that if I played it till the end it would be stored somewhere on my computer and I could just find it and move it to a sensible folder on my computer. However I've searched all over the computer and I can't find it anywhere. I did something similar a couple of weeks ago when I watched a video in the same way that I wanted to keep and I couldn't find it, after nearly an hour of trying,. Then my mate turned up and found it in under a minute. I could have punched the little fucker.

My question is, in which folder might I find this file? I use Windows XP Professional.

It's cos you have a plugin in your browser that made it just play in it. You'll have to right click the link that goes there, and hit "save target as" (or something along similar lines) then choose where to save it as. Should then download to there.

Doesn't work with all types of files, the videos on You Tube don't save for example.

If it is a file that saves then it will be in Temporary Internet Files.
