When i close the link(clicking the red at the top right corner)

Its not saving as a file, cause it tells me to attempt and locate it, which i cant

is there a way for me to save under a file?

EDIT: Heres an example

This is one of the songs i downloaded

C:\Documents and Settings\The King\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\A9LYR69C\dethklok_theme[1].zip

when i load it, it goes into iTunes, but when i "close" the link out, it will tell me to try and relocate the file

rememeber, i have WINDOWS XP

You need to find the file in the location you specify to download it. I don't think it being in the folder you say is where the full file is downloaded.

Plus, the file you name is a zipped file. You would have to unzip it into a location, then import the songs into iTunes for them to work.

Files stored in temporary directories will, more often than not, usually be deleted by the program that created it upon closing. You just need to put the file anywhere else (i.e. My Documents, My Music). It's also happening because your iTunes isn't set to copy files into the iTunes library upon them being added.

Windows speak = x it out
Mac speak = Cmd + Q :)

Is there a way i can set up a file on my music somehow so i can put the
mp3s there?

edit:

Heres the exact thing that comes up, there would be an ! sign next to the title of the song, andi get this when i click it





EDIT 2!!!!

I FIXED IT!!

But there are multiple tracks that have the same opening file, is there a way i can rename the file?
