Hello Folks, Ijust received my MacBook Pro a couple of days ago. When I click on download links for mp3 files such as the Serotalk Podcast the Mac plays the file automatically rather than download. How can I prevent this from happening? Thanks, Louis

The easiest way to subscribe to podcasts using iTunes on the Mac is to: 1. In iTunes, go down to the iTunes STore in the Source list. 2. Option+Control+F to go to the search edit field (which will search in the iTunes Store as this is what you selected in the Source list). 3. For example: type in "serotalk": and press Enter. 4. If you then do a Control+Option+Command+J to jump through the form elements in the iTunes html search area: you will find something like: "subscribe to Serotalk free button". 5. Control+Option+Space on the subscribe button, iTunes will prompt you to confirm, and then it will download the latest podcast: in this example: the Serotalk podcast. 6. You can then navigate to podcasts in the Source list, and then from the podcasts table, listen to the latest Serotalk podcast.
