Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. So, I'm actually not supposed to be able to download those music files off those websites. Okay, so I wasn't doing anything wrong, at least. I thought those sites were offering you parts of WWI songs as teasers, that you could download and listen to so you'd want to buy the full songs on the CDs he's selling. But I guess not; evidently you're only supposed to listen to them on his website. Well, at least I'm learning things, like what the .ram and .ra and other suffixes mean. Thanks again!
