Right click/control-click on the size column. This will pull up a pop-up menu with more options for the audio player.
- On some browsers, you can't see the size column so you can just click on the row that the post pops up in.
This will open the audio player in its own tab.
This will then open the dialog window where you can then save the audio as an MP3 file on your computer.
