It took me a while to get where I am, see picture of my screen below. My problem is mostlikely that I'm not familiar with Excel enough, and I just have Excel Reader. Until now, since I've retired ten years ago, I've never had to use Excel. I have vision problems and spreadsheet software is a difficult thing for me.

So, I have this huge spread sheet of an alphabetical list of songs. But, how do I download them from here. Plese.

Obiviously, I belong to all 3 of the required groups to get the screen below:

George:
All you have there is a list of the available songs in a given directory. The actual BIAB tracks will be in a zip file, which you download but then would need a program like Winzip to open the archive and save the files to your harddrive.

Files can then be opened in BIAB.

Hi Graham. Thanks for the response. I sent an email to you earlier in the day.

I will say here that I have Winzip and what you see on my screen picture is the list of the songs, that list came in a zipped file.

Well, a big thank you to Graham for guiding me through the process. I'm all set. Another great example of help from the SGF.
