Hi Holger, Actually, I didn't find this method to be a big deal, it is just the difference in browsers. You don't typically get a run option unless you are downloading a .exe file. Depending on how the author of the website has coded the pages even in Internet Explorer sometimes you have to go to the context menu and choose, "save target as" in order to get what you want. I can think of many other situations that require more work to accomplish a simple task, this one is just a walk in the park!

But this is a pain. Why did not google did it where you can just enter and giving the choice of running it or save it. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Justice Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2018 6:16 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome Hi Holger, I tried this on the Apple Vis , Sendspace and Hadley Institute for the Blind sites. When you find the link for the mp3 you want, do this: 1. Open the context menu, and press enter on, "save link as". 2. When the dialogue opens,tab to the file type combo box, and down arrow to all files, then tab to the save button, and press the spacebar. The file should download to your default location. Note: This seems to be a standard "Save As", dialogue box. HTH, Rick Justice "Tomorrow's another day, another way!"

Normaly in IE, I find the link for the MP3 and IE will ask to run or safe. Crome play the podcast instead of asking to save. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Justice Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2018 5:29 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome To whoever initiated the original thread, Can you give an example of the website you are having trouble with?
