Has anyone use pearljambootlegs.org? Im trying to use this site with a Mac. Can anyone tell me how to download off this site. When I choose to download it just brings me to Quicktime Player. Cant download with Quicktime. Any suggestions?

    right click and save as..

    wait.. there's no right click on a Mac.. ;)


    seriously though what about holding the mouse button down for the little meu, can you "save as"?


    EDIT - on a PC, I right clicked the "download" button and selected Save Target As and it let me save the mp3 file. Good luck.

    You're going to want to hold down either the "apple," "ctrl," or "option" key when you click on the link. It should be one of those three (not sure which). It might depend on which browser and OS you are using, or if you have customized any keystrokes in your system preferences.

    No no no! Don't buy anything! You don't have to purchase anything extra I promise.

    It's just a matter of depressing one of the three keys on the keyboard I listed at the same time you click on the link you want to download. Again, I'm not sure which key it is so if someone else reads this and can clarify that'd be swell.

    If you're using any Firefox variant I find that the add-on "Download Statusbar" is a help. Unfortunately I find that it works better on Windows than OSX, but it's there none the less.

    Stop living in 1997, man:)
    Actually, there is a right click on a Mac. The standard Mac mouse now comes with four buttons and a scroll.
