Allow users to download mp3

In other words, I want to write the word "download," and have
the mp3 transfer to the desktop (or wherever) of the clicker. I am
working on a site primarily for people using screen readers and
they generally do NOT use mice, so no right and left click. I've
poked around Dreamweaver Help and elsewhere but can't even figure
out what search terms to use.
Thanks,
Kari

Zip it. Link to it. Easy peasy.
If you want them to download the mp3 directly without playing
it, just post
instructions to right click on the link and save it.
If you want this to all happen automatically, without using a
zip file, you
would have to use server scripting to send the appropriate
header to teh
server.
This question is answered frequently here, so good search
skills would have
found it for you.

Code for website to allow users to download free Reader

This is not the right forum, but I couldn't find one that applies, sorry.
I'm adding some PDF files to my website for download, and I need to find the code that I can add to my website that will allow users to download the free Reader if they don't already have it. Can someone point me to that, please?
Thanks!

Found it:

(related question popped up over there --->
which had the link.)
I see that it's actually just the image, and there's no code... you just hyperlink the image yourself. Long time ago there used to be some HTML code that came along, and did the link for you as a reference or something. I'm set now... thanks.

Why won't the browser allow me to download mp3s? is there a setting I need to activate?

question regarding downloading mo3s?

You can download mp3s using Firefox beta which can be found in the Play Store. While Firefox is playing an mp3 you can long press on it and choose save to save the file.
This feature will make it to the release version of Firefox around May 15th.

Allow users to Download documents from server

Hello Everybody,
I am working on an Flex application where I have to allow the
users to Open/Save documents such as Word document, Excel sheet,
PDFs, Jpeg, Media files (any digital format document) when a user
clicks on a link present in a Flex application. To do this I am
using the navigateToURL() method and simply passing the URL string
as a URLRequest to the navigateToURL method. This works fine but
whenenver the link is invoked and the user selects to Save the
Excel sheet or any document it displays an unwanted browser window
behind the Open/Save/Cancel dialog box saying action cancelled.
I can not use "_self" as I require the Flex application to
run as is. I tried using the javascript:window.open() but this did
not work.
1) Is there a process to stop the browser window from
opening?
2) How can we invoke a javascript using navigateToURL(), I
tried to invoke javascript.alert('Ok') and also
javascript:window.open() both did not function.
3) Is there any other method or flex classes etc. to invoke
external applications (allow to download documents from server)?
Please help me.
Thanks and Regards,
Paromita

Paromita,
You could use the file download functionality. This is from
the docs:
You can let users download files from a server using the
FileReference.download() method, which takes two parameters:
request and defaultFileName. The first parameter is the URLRequest
object that contains the URL of the file to download. The second
parameter is optional--it lets you specify a default filename that
appears in the download file dialog box. If you omit the second
parameter, defaultFileName, the filename from the specified URL is
used.
The following code downloads a file named index.xml from the
same directory as the SWF document:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.xml");
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.download(request);
To set the default name to currentnews.xml instead of
index.xml, specify the defaultFileName parameter, as the following
snippet shows:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.xml");
var fileToDownload:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileToDownload.download(request, "currentnews.xml");
I think this will accomplish what you are trying to do.

How do I get the Linux version of Firefox to allow me to download mp3 files instead of playing them in Firefox (the windoze solution doesn't work for Linux)?

I've tried to modify a couple of "media" settings in about:config, but it still plays mp3s instead of allowing me to save them. In applications, mp3 audio is set to "Always ask".

Did this behavior change after an update, or has it continued for several Firefox versions?
Is there a visible player? If so, can you right-click it and see whether you get a plugin menu or a standard Firefox context menu?
For some plugins, there is a separate configuration dialog to indicate which kinds of content they will handle (I recall QuickTime having such a dialog).

Interface options to allow user to download attachments

I am adding the capability to my web-based e-mail application to aloow users to get their attachments when the read their messages. I can find the attachments fine, I can save them to the local filesystem fine, I can also store them in my database (mySQL) fine, but I have a design issue.
What is the "best' way to allow the user to GET their attachments?
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Bob

you can probably do it through a squirrelmail plugin, but the mail password should be the same as the account's OD password, unless you've configured mail to run off a separate directory or local user list.

By creating Web Gallery from CS4 Bridge can we allow people to download photos

I want to create web gallery from CS4 but want to allow users to download a particular photo or the full album. How can we do this setting. May be we can create a PDF file but that will allow user to download the full PDF and then create a new page and save the PDF again with the particular photo but I need them to save the file in JPG.
Do any one know how to do this setting making Web Gallery in HTML or other option JPG format.

Why doesn't apple allow you to download files from the internet like how android users can?

I was using a friend's android phone yesterday and saw that he could download files a wide variety of files from the internet and that made me wonder why Apple doesn't allow iPhone users to download files like the ones you could on an android device

To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".

Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps. Brand new IPAD never any other user

Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

Hi, I'm a new Mac user and I want 10.8.2 but i can't get that unless I have i have 10.8.1 and I cant get that unless I have 10.8. Now I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a link that would allow me to download this version?

Again, that's not a problem - if you purchase Mountain Lion through the App Store, it's been updated to 10.8.2 - and when there are other updates available, you can just download and install them as well.
Just go to the App Store and purchase and install ML. Then run Software Update (Apple menu) to see if there are any updates available for your machine. I keep my System Preferences>Software Update prefs set to check automatically -
Some people would rather check manually. No big deal, just buy it and install it.

How do I stop downloaded MP3s playing in the QuickTime Browser Plugin?

I have a number of websites created in Flash, which are used to promote musicians and bands in Bristol, UK. I use Flash because it allows animations, music players, background music, and all the other features ideal for promotional websites.
We offer MP3s for free download so our fans and followers can own some of our tracks.
Up until last week, a link directly to an MP3 would launch the "Save As..." download dialogue, allowing users to save the files to their PC.
However, since installing QuickTime 7, when you click on a link to an MP3 it now launches a nasty little embedded Quicktime player, which you can't save from or do anything useful with.
This is absolutely useless as I already have streaming audio and a built-in music player in my site, and I can now no longer offer MP3 downloads. I don't want to have to start zipping my MP3s or anything hideous like that, does anyone know a way that I can stop this happening?
I can't expect visitors to my sites to do anything, so I need some way of changing the URL so that it doesn't trigger the QT plugin.
Would really appreciate some assistance as this has effectively ruined the most significant part of most of our websites.
Thanks

Ah, well, it was worth a try, but since you're clearly not actually reading my post - I'm using FLASH, as I clearly stated so you cannot right click.
As for the QT Mime settings, what you are saying is woefully inaccurate, and once again you aren't reading what I am writing. Quicktime is not the default player for MP3s on my PC. And as of two days ago there was no QT MP3 browser plugin either. I installed Quicktime because I have to have it to play MOV files.
By installing QT the program arbitrarily (that means it did it without any involvement or permission from me) took ownership of MP3s in the browser only. I know how MIME settings work, and I made absolutely sure that QT did not get it's hands on any of my filetypes. However, there is NOT an option to stop it playing MP3s in a browser, and it most definitely happened without my say so.
There clearly isn't an answer to this, I'll either have to put my MP3s in Zips or use some elaborate code to generate a nasty HTML page so that you can (retch) Right Click, Save As. All this because the QuickTime player has made changes that it had absolutely no right to.
Never mind, I'll find another way. But first, I'm uninstalling Quicktime forever.

Help! itunes 12 wont allow users to redownload past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this?

Help! For some reason i-tunes 12 wont allow users to re-download past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this? It will only allow you to download what it calls "Recent Purchases" which in my case only would allow 250 items. I know i have at least 700 tracks if not substantially more possibly over 2000 tracks but I can't be sure. I don't know how to find that information, I've looked in itunes under the my account past purchases but id doesn't tell you how many total songs you have purchased or any relevant details. It only shows you small chunks of receipts by date but no total tracks purchased in an easy to view snapshot that I could find. The current support page says that if you have more then 2000 songs the "ALL SONGS" tab now listed above the left pan with all your purchased artists, will change to "Recent Purchases". IF apple changed this on purpose to stop user from downloading there entire library to cut down on bandwidth they have really upset me this time. At present the only way I can download all past purchases is by selecting each artist listed in the left pan one by one selecting the "Download ALL" button at the bottom right corner of the page at which point I have to input my apple password each time, which really slows things down. I have hundreds of artists and if this is the only way for customers to re-download there entire library this is ridiculous and really unnecessary to put customers through this kind hassle just to re-download all there past purchases when the whole idea of i-cloud is to make downloading and using your music simple, quick, and convenient on multiple devices. I know the old saying "your responsible for backing up your data" yeah I know that and I've been doing that for years when no one really should ever have had too. There is no reason a service that sells music digitally should not allow customers to be able to re download content purchased on there service regardless of the fact that people should just back up anyway as an extra precaution. Well sometimes backups fail like in my case and I have to re-download. No wonder paid subscription plans are so popular. You don't have to deal with any of these issues. I can only hope this is some kind of oversight by apple and will be fixed soon. Can anyone offer a quicker solution or any information about this issue? I would greatly appreciate any helpful assistance.
Again this is for Windwos 8.1 x64 with Itunes 12.0.1.26

After spending way too much time dealing with this issue myself, I discovered that you can:
- Within "My Music", select all the songs you need to download (all w/ the cloud icon - use Shift-Click)
- Right click and select download
All songs will begin downloading from iCloud

Please tell me it's possible to download MP3 to your mobile device.

Hello,
I'm simply trying to offer a downloadable podcast (MP3) through our Saba LMS for computer and mobile device.
So far, PC isn't a problem to download, but how can my user download the MP3 using their mobile device? I can only think that it has to be emailed to them, then accessed through their mail app and saved it there. I mean, how do you download anything w/ a phone/tablet? I couldn't if I was using a browser app (Safari, etc.) on my iPhone.
Does anyone ever need to do this? I'm sorry maybe it isn't possible at all to download MP3 from an LMS (or even public URL) to your phone, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Thank you in advance.

Hmmm, wondering if you choose the right forum. Do you use Captivate, because this is a Captivate forum,
