Internet Explorer users should right-click the song and choose "Save Target As..."
Netscape users should right-click it and choose "Save Link Target As..."
Left clicking a song should play it without downloading it - but this seems to vary between WAVs and MIDIs, as well as from one browser to another - and even from one computer to another. I have no idea why.
It pays to experiment.

I am sometimes asked if it's legal to download material found on various non-commercial sites, such as this one.
Well, I'm neither a lawyer nor a technician,
and I've begun to wonder if it was legal for
us to tape music off the radio back when
tape recorders first came into being.
And were we committing a crime when we recorded
a movie shown on TV with our VCRs? And was it
really legal to buy a dual-deck recorder for the
express purpose of duplicating cassettes?
My answer to all of the above is, "I don't know."
Nonetheless, here is a statement in
kind of legalese that appears to apply
to this kind of file availability:
