Default MP3 link - prompt user to download the file


Hi

I want to put a link on my site so a user clicking on it will be
prompted to save and download the MP3 file instead of it automatically
opening media player etc and playing the file.

what is the command to do this?

Its a browser issue and has nothing to do with what's on the server.

I'm running Freebsd using Mozilla as a browser. What do you want to happen
when I click on an MP3 link?

Way down deep in the middle of the congo, Sean and a hippo took an apricot a
guava and a mango. Stuck it with the others and he danced a dainty tango...

Fly killer tastes awful. Don't spray too much of it in a small room. HTH HAND.

Perhaps offer a ZIP the MP3 file for download.
