Lou, you might look into iTunes. It's free to download. All it is is a player like RealPlayer or the Windows Media Player with the added feature of being able to sort and save your music. There's a section of it called "Music Store" which is where you go to find songs and podcasts. It's a misnomer because you can also find all the free stuff in the Music Store. What the Music Store is is really a portal to all downloadable music/podcast files on the internet. You can use iTunes with other devices besides iPods and Mac hardware. I have a regular PC.
iTunes will do automatically what you are currently doing manually.
