Any tips on how you managed to get this one to download?

It just gives me a zero-byte file too.

Alternatively, you can go to this page which has the MP3 file in a player and do a right-click on the player and download from there (at least, you can on Safari/OS X):

Has anyone else here noticed a drastic decrease in love from the Google Rewards app since the new year?

I'm not sure when it started, but I haven't seen much for the last month or so. I thought it had to do with my answers to some questions. I am a woman but I don't care about stereotypical things like makeup.

I just got one and can't answer the second question. The first was do you play mobile games and I do, but I do puzzle type games. I thought I had this question before and they asked what type and puzzle games was one of the answers. Maybe they don't have anyone to create good questions anymore? Here's the second question and I do not want any of these types of games.

I thought it was just me, too.

I'm right there with you!

Ew, I have no idea either. When I can play games I prefer puzzles, but don't know those.

Maybe we just don't fit their demographic anymore

Thanks for this. I've added it to my Watchlist.

The size of my file is 0 bytes, also.

Given that situation, I doubt that this is any help, but when I tried to open it on Microsoft Groove (before I learned that the file was empty), I got the error code 0xc00d36c4 (0xc00d36c4). I'm guessing that all that that means is that the file size is zero. ha

I'm thinking of sending a message to the classical-music.com people to see it they have some answers, insight, or suggestions. In the meantime, if anyone finds a solution or workaround, please let all of us know.

Classical-music.com's free download of the week is "Hallelujah!" from Handel's Messiah. This is a recording of a live performance by the B'Rock Belgian Baroque Orchestra.

This recording is an 'immensely rewarding interpretation' writes Anna Picard in the January issue of BBC Music Magazine, where this recording was awarded a five-star review.

The previous offering--Mendelssohn's Sonata was a debacle. This free weekly classical music offering, however, downloaded and played just fine on the MP3 player. In fact, with me already having an account with Classical-music.com, the whole process was easy peasy. Here's the download page.

Do you get the distinct impression that Classical-music.com's weekly free downloads come much more frequently than once a week? I'm not complaining, mind you, just making an observation.

Well it does say most appealing, so they want to know which, out of those three, you'd like most. Even if you hate all three, which one is the least hated basically. This kind of question is common in paid market research. If they ask it like this they're trying to decide what setting is best to use for a game that's not completed yet. (Maybe not even started.)

And to be fair, all those settings could be wrapped around a puzzle game.

Yeah, you're right. I did answer magic and wizards.

GtrsRGr8, try this page - click play to start the audio playing, then right-click/save as (I clicked right on the play button). That seems to have finally worked for me.

Worked. I'm listening to it now.

Thanks very much.
