Can anyone tell me how to load an audio mp3 onto a webpage so that when you send someone there, they can right click and download the link?

Thank you!

    Hi Tiffani,

    Do you mean something like this?

    Code:
    <a href="/path/to/file.mp3" title="Right Click (Cmd Click on a Mac) to Download">Download MP3 File</a>
    Or do you need something more elaborate?

      I guess something like that, as I don't know html, I am not sure how I would translate that to what I am needing, also, I use a pc...

      thank you for your help! I am not very savvy with this stuff.

    No problem. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite series notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium. Hopefully that code should work for you. I did forget to mention that /path/to/file.mp3 is just a placeholder. If you can tell me where on your site the MP3 file will be stored, I'll be able to tell you how to write the link to the file on your site. (I'd give you the code for that, but the forum's spam filter isn't letting me add text to show you what the link looks like.)

    Again, no problem. If you don't mind me asking, what FTP program are you using?

    FileZilla is perfect (I use it myself). If you know how to connect to the server, do so. Then go to the file you want to edit (it's a Web page), then right-click and select "View/Edit"

    It may complain that the file type isn't associated with a particular program; if it does, go to "Edit > Settings > File Editing" and select "Use a Custom Editor", then find the .exe file for the text editor (such as Notepad or Crimson Editor) and put that in. For example, on my laptop, the location for the Crimson Editor .exe file is at "C:\Program Files\Crimson Editor 3.72\cedt.exe"

    Once you're done, click "OK" and try right-clicking the page and selecting "View/Edit" again.

    (Edit: Gah, hit the wrong button. The rest of the post is coming up as I rewrite this.)

    <rant> Okay, this stupid spam filter is really starting to annoy me - I can't even HELP Tiffani without tripping the filter. </rant>

    Since you already have the mp3 uploaded to the site at http://www.reallifefood.com/eatingforenergy.mp3 a link like this would normally do it. <a href="eatingforenergy.mp3">eating for energy.mp3</a> Just put that into the text on the html page at the appropriate place.

    This is using the site file system, but some people (not me) prefer to have the full url, as <a href="http://www.reallifefood.com/eatingforenergy.mp3">eating for energy.mp3</a>

    A person can then click or double click to play with their default mp3 player, or right click to 'save as' and download the file.
