They are not. Look what happens to the URL for one of the songs when I
click on it:

http://www.songsthatsoundlikeothersongs.com/..%5Cclips%5CFastAsYou-BalladOfJohnAndYoko.MP3


What is that? The %5C's throughout the thing, the /.. after the server
name...

1) A URL does *NOT* use backslashes!! URLs use FORWARD slashes.

When I manually change the backslashes to forward slashes I am able to
download the clip.

This is a classic example of a MS fubar + misunderstanding on the part of
the coder (you). But it can be corrected. Just change all the
backslashes to forward slashes.
