Hello Jürgen, Darrell, and Others, I'll just add the comment that if you ever have started playing an mp3 file in your browser, you can press command-L to highlight the location in the browser followed by Option-enter to force this to download to your default downloads location instead of continuing to play..
This is the regular Mac shortcut known as Option-Click to force downloads of highlighted items. VoiceOver automatically highlights the link when you navigate there, so holding down the Option key and then pressing return (or "enter" as many like to say) automatically forces the download. When you navigate to the address bar with Command-L, the link address is automatically highlighted. So this is what Mike's sequence of commands is doing: it's placing the highlighted link address in the address bar so he can press Option-Enter to force the download. I usually move items from my downloads folder. If I want to download a number of items to another folder, I may bring up the Safari preferences menu with Command-comma, and temporarily change the default download location. HTH.
