I was wondering if there was someone else here using a MacIntosh and experiencing the same problems I have to download (and save) the Jimmy D Remixes at Roxbytes.
Can anyone help me ???

Just tested it, works fine on my Mac!

Mac OS 10.2, Safari-Browser:
ctrl-click > download link to disc!

Since I’ve never used (or seen) a Mac, can someone explain me the differences in downloading with a PC and a Mac? That way I could maybe better construct the site or add a point in the FAQ section for Mac users. Thanks!

Thanks Sascha !
You were right. Usually I only had to move the link to desk to start downloading.
pietROxette sorry for the question (finally answered) & thanks for the brilliant website !!!!

Pietro: I don’t think that you have to arrange special things for mac-users. It’s just that we normally don’t use a right mouse-button, instead the control-key. Well, mostly we just drag and drop. In my opinion most things are easier and more fun on a Mac!

Just go along with the html-standards and don’t optimise only for Explorer (Win-Version)!

hi, Mac-users
Unique your advantage before PC-users - absence of protection on Mac “The Ballad Hits”
It’s true?

OFFTOPIC post in the ROXETTE topic section.

zeeshan: Isn’t it obvious by the title that it’s offtopic? Why did you click in? ;-) Maybe someone will move it.

KleoN: Jep, I don’t have any problems at all to rip the songs to mp3, at least on Mac OS X. Although the protection was intended to work on Macs as well...

The “protection” does not work under Windows either. Just close that stupid EMI player and open whatever player you wish. Then it’s just to rip away.

Gosh! People get annoyed soo soon. I wasn’t being sarcastic. I just wanted to point it out so that the user could remember the next time he/she posts. It was nothing more than a friendly reminder/information.

Peace!
