nope...you can't do it that way...changing the extension of what it downloads as it is downloading just disguises it. (What Real Player is doing, I'll bet, is taking that .m3u and using it to go BACK online and play the file again.)

That's why it needs to be downloaded AS an MP3, and why I say that once you play it, that MP3 exists in some arcane directory.

**IF** you use a download manager like ummm.... Net Transport on that page.(my personal fav)(last freeware version), you can paste the URL for the song into it, change the extension TO mp3, specify the location, THEN let it download the file AS an MP3.Net Transport can do several files at once...(I set it to 4, so as not to overload things).....this is how I got all the files in about 45 min. to an hour.
