How can I download the .mp3 file from Dropbox?

Firefox. XP3.

My friend loaded some personally recorded mp3 files for me to download from Dropbox. However, when I follow the link I only get a Quicktime media player in a browser window. How can I download the actual files themselves?

The link here in related questions refers to Macs. I also did a google search to no avail.

Thanks for your help.

In Firefox go to Tools/Options Applications Tab, search down the list until you find mp3 (or music files, or quicktime file, it depends on what program is associated with mp3s) and change the option to always ask, that way Firefox should ask you if you want to download the mp3 file.

Add ?dl to the end of the link :)

What you're trying to do is built right into DropBox. Click on the little downwards-facing arrow next to file, then click on "download now". It should ask you to save the file to the disk, and not open it in the browser.
