I'm working on a similar project... here's a tip to force a user to download
the MP3, instead of having the browser play it. Make sure your web server
sends out the following headers, the first two are most important:
Content-Type: application/download
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=blah.mp3
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
That will cause a "save as..." dialog prompt to open. Hope that helps!
