Roberto - I see that 12 Stringer has given an answer to your question.
To expand on that, there are two links to play, one links to a real audio file, for this specific song it is named bazc06.rm, this can be downloaded and will play from your computer. The other link is to a file (bbfe82f4bb32a4e79be731d58f02bf24.ram) which doesn't actually contain any music. It links the player to a "streaming audio" which allows your player to play the track, but doesn't download the actual music track to your computer.
If you want to download the actual music file onto a PC the standard method is to Right Click on the link and select "Save As..." (with IE6 it is Save Target As, with Firefox it is Save Link As) and it should bring up a Save/Download box which allows you to select where to save the file and also to rename it if you wish. If you rename, make sure that you only change the file name bit BEFORE the " .rm " suffix otherwise a PC will not recognise what sort of file it is.
If you work your way through Honking Duck and download everything, you will end up with about 30 hours of playing time. If you do not rename files to something meaningful or otherwise catalogue them, you will find it difficult to find any specific song or tune.
