good stuffThese short tips I’m giving every now and then are pretty well received among you. Therefore here is another one.

Google Chrome is the best browser for me currently. However its similar to a partnership. There are always things which bother you about the other one. The main flaw I see is Chrome’s internal music-player which launches upon clicking on a mp3 instead of just download it. On the internal player’s page you can download the mp3 via pressing CTRL+S (respectively the option-key on the Mac).

I’ve been looking for a really long time for a proper solution and found one which works ok.

To download a file directly, hold the ALT-key during clicking on the link. You can get used to it after a while even if its not the most beautiful solution.

I will update this entry in the future if someone pops up with a better way to handle it. I’ve got an idea for a Greasemonkey-script which might do the trick. Those can be installed directly as a Chrome-extension.

Now that the work is done, it’s time to produce some dance-music.
