Actually, not necessarily. It depends upon browser settings. A person
can set up an executable or zip to automatically execute/open just like an
mp3 file. (Not that I'd recommend setting up your system like that). Your
best bet is providing a link directly to the MP3 file and let your friends
figure it out.
If the MP3s are your own music, go somewhere like mp3.com and let them
worry about getting them to your friends.
