Quicktime considered as one of the best audio video players does not allow you to save any Mp3/Mpg file which you are playing online and gives you a option to upgrade your current Quicktime version to a Pro aka paid one. Here is a simple trick to avoid this paid option.
Just right click on the page where the file exists and right click on the file and save link/source as , this way you can directly save the file without paying any amount.
May be Quicktime needs to search for somemore advanced options wherein these above steps can also be avoided and the user’s need to pay before they can download the Mp3/mpg files.
What a simple way to save this type of file.
Thank You.

OMGBUS I’ve been looking for this forever! Pretty sure this is just for firefox b/c my IE does not have the save page as option. Thanjk you, love you forever!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, all the other websites told me to get the URL from the link embedded in the webpage, but the site that I’m on doesn’t allow you to ‘view source.’ I really needed the mp3, and I was devastated until I found your explanation, and I’m dancing with joy, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I’d searched the thing for a long time… U’d fullfilled in a simple manner.. Thanks dude..
…can’t believe I’ve never thought of that… thanks alot.
I am a bit confused. Can you break this down a bit? First you right click. Then what do you right click after that? Thank you.
Thanks, a lot, really helped ))
Does not work in Internet Explorer–any more idease? I’ve tried everything.
Thanks so much! that helped me!
It worked for others but not for me…
Followed your instructions and did not work…anyway it allways takes me to Quicktime pay scheme…let´s review the steps:
1.- right click on the page where the file exists and
Means right click on any place on the page? if I do that I get: the regular menu of any web site: tried both: Explorer and Firefox now, in order to go to step 2 the menu goes at the moment I right click on the file
2.- right click on the file and always get the quick time menu: About, Save as Source or Save as QT movie. and if I click on Save as source I get: Feature requires Quick time 7 pro…and the pay offer.
3.- save link/source as: If I do that I get: a saving window that saves the page as: *.php which is no good…
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Thanks for sharing this little tip – my wife wanted to save some Quicktime MP3s of one of her choral concerts that was posted online and this turned out to be a quick and simple way to do it.
