The right clicking doesn't work on my Mac since I updated it, is there another way to download audio material?

Hi Cathy
If right clicking doesn't work, you could try pressing CTRL and click - and then 'Save File As'. Hopefully that will work.
Thanks

Hi Jill

The file seems to be working fine. If you have tried the suggestions (1. click on the play icon to play directly from the site, 2. Right click on the audio bar and then click 'Save As' to save to your computer), then could you try using a different browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc) to see if that solves your problem?
Thanks,
