There was no carriage return at the end of the line with the link on it so,
probably, you were getting extra garbage at the end of the link which caused
the "page not found" error. If you copy and paste the line to your browser
address bar and delete the extraneous mess at the end, you will be all right
- this is what I had to do! The link should end with .mp3
