I really dont want to download this "quicktime pro" however it wont let me download any of the sounds i want without having to shed abit of cash, im just looking for some new ideas.
the point is, besides musical programs such as cubase and sibelius, what is a decent peice of software for downloading music from this site and being able to play it?!
Mr.Red.
Curious. You shouldn't have to pay for anything to d/l and play sounds. You need to specify your platform - PC/Mac and what OS (XP etc)
to play Quicktime is free. Ignore the attempt to sell you QT pro and just d/l the basic version.
On a PC windows media player will play mp3s and wavs out of the box.
Don't pay a dime if you simply want to play the sounds.
for a free semi-decent player (wave editor kinda program) check out Audacity
> Quicktime pro if i want to download the file.
Stuff 'em. There's other ways. First - what sound are you trying to download? It may be in a format that QT doesn't support out of the box and they are trying to jump you into paying for something you can do another way for free.
Second, if you right-click on the 'download' text and accept the "save As" option (see attached pic) can you d/l the file. If so, what is it called and what happens if you find it with Windows explorer and double click it?
