Try right mouse button on download button
Or…does the blank page give some sign of “loading process bar”? Some download mechanism (e.g. for big PDF files) work like this: they open a blank page loading the content until it’s fully loaded and only then you can download it. But I don’t know if this is the case

I enjoyed the Metapop experience. It was a great way to try new things and get more exposure to NI products. Listening to other producers work on the same projects was very enlightening. ⚛️

Press the "Edit Track" (mechanic wheel) icon, check "Enable Download" box and you're good to go.

I'm devastated by this news. Metapop has been an amazing experience - the community of musicians and producers from literally the whole world. All of us together in a respectful, interactive, encouraging environment is something special - and is leaving a huge hole. For many, including me, metapop was a godsend during the worst of the pandemic - keeping my mental health in a good place. I've been on the edge of depression since reading the news - it's like a part of me is leaving.
The competitions were great, really pushed me to expand my skills and improve my techniques. I wasn't there expecting prizes, that was a nice extra. I think most of the community would still keep using the site without the prizes. It would be great to get some better feedback from NI as to why they've made this decision. It seems odd to have had the survey, then decide to close metapop. Can we get some more information as to the why please?

Download is fine: click on Download box then on .mp3 bluebox.
Hm, if you switch on page 2 it don't jumps to the beginning.
Myself don't found music I like.

Well this is rather sad after 7.5 yrs. And they're mostly suggesting the user base just come to the NI forums or check out a discord? I'm not sure what I would have expected instead but seems underwhelming - be nice if they suggested other similar communities or something since Splice Studio is shutting down too (or maybe already has).

I'm devastated by this. The layout and function of metapop is spot on in design to make the sharing of tracks, communicating with others and getting really useful feedback. Such a shame to be losing this resource. I've loved the community, connection, respect and the fact that it's a truly international place. It feels like the world is shrinking. It would be great if the NI management could tel, us why they've made this decision. The competitions were great - pushing me to try new things, for me it wasn't about the prizes, but the stimulation. I have bought quite a few instruments and a new midi controller triggered by metapop experience - I suspect others have done this too. so it makes no sense to exclude a world of musicians and producers overnight. oh well.

I saw the news when it was first posted on Metapop. I was checking when the next competition was going to happen and so forth. I was really disappointed when I saw the news. I was actually planning on posted songs that I was intending to use as an upcoming EP this year. I was looking forward to getting feedback ....... Once I saw the news the site was shutting down I just deleted all my songs on my profile and deleted my account...... I really liked Metapop better than posting to soundCloud...... I would rather have feedback from fellow musicians than potential followers and fans. I want to get better as a producer........ Maybe we as a community can convince NI to change their mind like the whole Waves incident. Just a thought..... Hopefully something is in the works to replace the site.....

I thought to share it with you, in case you don’t see the email. A free gift is something not to be missed 😉

Nice little touch to give the gift. Gutted Metaphor is going. Have met some amazing people there and worked with them also. Thanks NI for creating such a fruitful platform. Understand hard to continue.

I'm going to miss metapop.
I don't post/share music - I make stuff for me. Metapop was one of the few places where I posted things publicly. Getting those "New like on your track by..." was always kind of amazing to me. lol. Someone liked the nonsense stuff I make?!?
I really enjoyed those weird "sonic laboratory" prompts. I realize there is an attempt to move this all to discord; though I wish it would move to soundcloud or audius or bandcamp or...

Probably your “nonsense” has a sense for people who liked it.
Remember: you are not alone in this world 😉
