Simple enough - there are a few download file add-ons.  Have a look at EE’s own Download Content add-on.  There are others available on devotee.com that you can look at too, including some that protect the original link path and file name from view and track downloads.

Hi ClubZion,

I assume you are talking about having an MP3 download instead of just opening in the browser. You should be able to do this with some PHP. Perhaps you could create a special template to achieve this or even better, an addon.

header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=somefile.mp3');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); 
header('Content-Length: '.filesize('somefile.mp3'));
readfile('somefile.mp3');

Or, another way you can supposedly achieve this by adding this to your .htaccess file:

AddType application/octet-stream .mp3

Give these a try.

Hi ClubZion,

I’ve merged your three threads that were the same into this one thread and moved them all over to the Community Help forums as this isn’t really a technical support question and so will be a better fit in that forum.

Thanks,

Mark
