Downloading and installing software from the internet is a breeze if you know the basic steps involved. Because of the number of operating systems, audio players, browsers, and versions thereof, it is impossible for us to give specific step-by-step instructions. However, here are the basic steps: 1. Go to the Web site and page that offers the software you are interested in.
2. Check the minimum system requirements.
3. Quit all open programs or applications, except your browser.
4. Click the download file link or button.
5. Save the downloaded file(s) in an easy-to-find location on your hard drive, such as a "Downloads" folder.
6. After the download and any unstuffing processes are completed, go to your desktop, or wherever you saved the downloaded file(s), and open or "run" the install file to begin the installation process.
7. Fill in the required fields and follow the instructions on your screen.
8. You should be notified when the installation process is complete.
9. Reboot your computer. Once you have done this, you will be able to run the software program. PDF documents: For more information on downloading PDF files on a particular computer, please choose one of the following options: Windows or Macintosh. For more information on downloading PDF files, read this page. To download sound files, choose the file format you would like to play (MP3, RAM, or WAV). After the sound file is downloaded, click on the file to listen to it. You will need have an appropriate sound player program to open the file. RAM files: For RealAudio clips, you will need RealPlayer or a comparable player such as Windows Audio Media. Please note that the sound quality of Real Audio files (.ram files) is not nearly as good as the .mp3 or .wav files. However, their file sizes are the smallest (about 84 kilobytes) and take much less time to download. For more information about .ram files, read this page. MP3 files:MP3s are digital audio files that have been compressed while still maintaining their original sound quality. Before .mp3 files, digital audio files could take hours to download. In order to play .mp3 files, you will need an audio player. If you already have a player, you can start enjoying our samples. If you need a player for .mp3 files, here are a few recommended players for the Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems. Windows
Macintosh
Linux
Other MP3 players include Liquid Audio and WinAmp. For more information about .mp3 files, read this page. WAV files: For WAV files, the drivers are usually already installed on your computer, such as Sound Recorder. You will be prompted to identify the driver you would like to use. Just follow the prompts and click on your choices. If you are having problems downloading, you might try going into Options and under Preferences > Helper Applications, set it to Prompt User. This sets the browser to prompt you on what driver you want to use to download, such as Sound Recorder. The .wav files are of the highest quality so you can appreciate just how beautiful the music is. However, a 30-second .wav files is about 5 megabytes in size. So, it is recommended that you have a very fast Internet connection to avoid lengthy download times. For more information about .wav files, read this page. Other audio applications: In addition to player applications, you can get programs called "jukeboxes." Once you've downloaded a lot of songs or sounds to your computer you can use a jukebox to make playlists and manage your files. Jukeboxes also include CD rippers which allow you to extract the raw audio data from a CD and save it in an uncompressed format, such as .wav. Then an encoder application can encode the file as an MP3. RealJukebox and MusicMatch Jukebox are popular freeware jukeboxes for Windows. MusicMatch also has a Macintosh version. Other all-in-one jukeboxes for Macintosh include SoundJam MP and AudioCatalyst, although these programs are not free.

Freeware is completely free. You can download it and use it forever without paying anything. If, after downloading and using shareware for a short time, you continue to use it, you are expected to pay the author for it. It has become, what I consider, a fraudulent practice nowadays for shareware vendors to make limited trial versions of their software, (limited time, limited features, etc.) and call it Freeware when it's just a severely crippled version of their shareware. So, it's become difficult to separate real freeware from the fraudulent ads.
