I'm not sure this is the answer you are looking for or not. It sounds like
you have people that are experiencing problems when trying to download an
MP3 file. Correct?
I do a lot with MP3's. This is the basics of the code I use to force the
browser to download the file.
It sets the Mime type so then the browser should know to offer opening the
file in a mp3 player or offer to download. Next it sets the filesize and
offer that up also so the browser can properly determine download size and
time. It also forces the browser to view the file as an Attachment instead
of inline meaning the browser will always know to try to download the file.
I hope this helps solve the problem you are having.
