One of the songs completed downloading? How do I save it to my hard drive? I right licked on the song and pressed Preview Open & it began to play but I want to save it on my hard drive. Do you know where these files are downloaded to (which directory) in my computer?

Thanks

This is because you won't be able to get through to every source. You want to download the songs with the most sources, so:
1) You have a better chance of getting your file, and
2) The songs with the most sources are usually the songs of the best quality.

but it is downloading 4 copies of the song from 4 different hosts. Should I close all but the fastest download?
It's not download 4 copies. It's downloading 1 copy, but to speed things up, it's getting it from 4 different sources. When the download's done, it will splice all the pieces together and you'll have your file.

It is saved to your hard drive. You selected the download directory during setup. This is the directory where all the files are saved after you download them. I'm not sure what the default download directory for Shareaza is, but it's probably something like "C:\Program Files\Shareaza\Downloads". This is assuming you didn't change it to something else during setup.

Thank you for your help, There is a way to transfer the songs to a CDR-W disc which can be played in your CD player right? This has been very popular the last couple years and I decided to get my feet wet (so to speak) tonight and hope to learn more about this file sharing sometime soon.

Thank you again

You are correct - that is exactly where the default is.

Yes, If you don't already have it get a copy of Roxio Easy CD Creator.

If you have a CD-RW it should already have come with a program to convert those mp3s to an audio CD.

Wav or MP3 files on your CDs....
 
Here is a tip for you (I_am_New_to_This). :)
If you burning your own CDs, 1 CD can hold between 10 - 21-wav files but if you burning MP3 file 1 CD can hold up to 100 - 130-MP3 files (more if you have DVD burner, up to 1000 file on 1 DVD) and you computer can play them directly from the CD, you save space on your computer. And many DVD payer can play them too, so you can play your MP3 files on your stereo at home. :)
Good Luck!! :D
