Listening to Digital Music on CLUAS

'DOWNLOADing' a song

Q. If I choose to 'Download' a song what will happen?
A. You will prompted to "Save" 

Q.  What are the advantages & disadvantages of choosing the 'download' option to hear a song on CLUAS?
Advantages: If you 'download' the song you will be able to listen to the song any time you want as you will have your own copy of the song on your PC. You can even listen to the song when you are off-line (assuming you have the appropriate hardware & software).  
Disadvantage: You cannot listen to the song until the download is complete (a 4 minute song will take ~5+ minutes to download with a 56kbs connection). Also, the song will take up some of your hard disk space (~3MB for a 4 minute song in MP3 format).

Q. Okay, I've 'downloaded' a song from CLUAS - how do I now listen to it?
A. Using your file management system (e.g. 'Windows Explorer' on Win95/98) navigate to the music file you downloaded from CLUAS. Open the file by double-clicking on it. The appropriate multimedia software application will then launch and you will hear the song (this assumes you have a sound card & speakers/headphones installed). If you do not have a multimedia software installed you need to install one such as the 'Windows Media Player'.
