You can do one of a few things. Serve up the MP3 file through ColdFusion
like so:

Or you can set up your web server to deliver MP3 files as downloads instead
of playing them.

Subject: Downloading mp3s


Hi Folks

I have a series of mp3 sound files on my website.

I would like people to be able to download them to listen on their ipod or
in their car on a cd etc.

People are able to listen to them from the web but their ability to
download and save them seems very variable. Some can see "save as" others
can't. There is great variability between browsers and the media programs
that people are using. Some mp3 files are able to be saved others aren't
though I am not sure of any difference as I haven't set any specific
permissions

Is there a way to create saving permission for mp3 that all browsers/media
players would recognize?

Thanks

Rob
