How do I embed downloadable mp3 in iWeb?

Hello,
I want to enbed some downloable mp3's on my web-page created in iWeb. As I see it I can only drag the files on to the page but then they are transformed in Quicktime Player links to be listened to while on the page, NOT downloadable.
I have been reading here and there on the Internet to find a solution and also downloaded Cyberduck and trasfered a file to the server hosting my site but then I did not know what to do next. iWeb changes the setting if I try to make a hyperlink to the ftp-adress on the server, and sends me to the apple.live-page. Grrr...
Help?
Thanks in advance!

See this page for info about audio file upload...

You can create a folder - audio - and upload it to the root folder on your server which is the one with the folder containing your website files and the external index.html file.
See this page for more info about creating downloads and how to create a PC compatible ZIP...

The URL to download a zip file in the "audio" folder would be...
http://www.domain-name.com/audio/file-name.zip
Make sure your audio file names don't have any spaces or special characters in them!

You want to embed a text file into a web page? To read or for downloading?
To add a multipage text file to a webpage see this demo page: Scrolling Text Box. For a single text file just drag the text file onto an iWeb page and it will automatically be added as a text box. To download the file zip, put it on your GoDaddy.com account folder and use a hyperlink to the zipped file like in this demo page: LinkTestPage

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.

How can I embed an iCal into iWeb in the new Lion OS/Cloud setup?

I have found information on how to do this in the old software, but nothing on how to embed an iCal into my website (using iWeb) with the newest OS. "Publish" no longer exists.

If iCal can not publish a calendar, then with or without iWeb, the calendar is not available.
Find another calendar, such as Google's :

Hi-
You need to create a text link to the file...
On your page, type a word that you want to be the link... then select the word, and in the inspector pane, click the link tab (the arrow on the far right) and check "enable as hyperlink." Then choose "file" from the dropdown menu and a chooser box will open for you to locate the file on your hard drive.
Choose the file by clicking "open" once it's located. Then the next time you publish, the file will be uploaded and linked to!
Hope this helps... I think I got all the steps in there!

How to download MP3 of podcast from NPR to Sansa Sandisk MP3 player?

How can I get my USB device (Sansa Sandisk MP3 player) to show up in “Finder” so that I can download MP3s to it? (It does show up in “System Profiler”.)
I used to do this on my PC with no problems.
Thank you for your help.

Please see this page: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/229
which says:
'Although Mac OS is NOT a supported operating system, the Sansa player can still be recognized if the Sansa player is only plugged in MSC mode.
Mac computers do NOT support MTP
A Sansa player in MTP mode when plugged into a Mac computer will NOT be detected or recognized.'

How to download MP3 mail attachments to iPhone 4s?

Newbie here with a question. How do I download MP3 mail attachments to my iPhone 4s? Word documents & Excel charts too for that matter. I work for a songwriter. Would be great help. So far, I can open the attachment fine. Just wondering if I could possibly do actual work on my iPhone instead of having to synch through a PC. Heard somewhere there's no file system on iPhone. Thus, I'm a bit lost. Thank you any & all who may be able to shed some light on this matter or suggest reading materials.
Sincerely,

How do I Download mp3s to Touch without PC

I do not have a PC with iTunes, but have a 4G touch. How do I download mp3s purchased at Amazon to my Touch? thanks

You need iTunes to import non-iTunes purchased music into the Music app of your iPod.
However, a third-party program like PodShare may work.

How to download mp3 files into iTunes

This question differs from, but is related to subscribing to podcasts (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2124335&tstart).
Rather than subscribing to a podcast, I just want to download a story http://transmissionsfrombeyond.com/podpresstrac/web/121/0/TFB_020TheWatersOfMeribah.mp3, hosted at http://transmissionsfrombeyond.com/2009/08/transmission20. I did File->AddFileToLibrary. The dialogue box that came up was pointing at a temporary internet file folder. For the file name, I provided the URL above, but all that happened was that it downloaded 2 files into the temporary internet file folder:
TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[1].mp3
TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[2].mp3
Why are there 2 parts?
I tried to drag them to the iTunes Podcasts area, then try to drag it to the Podcast entry in the navigation panel along the left. Neither action resulted in the appearance of the files in iTunes.
I tried to find where iTunes stores its files. It seems to be at "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music", though the folder structure in no way mirrors the 6 iTunes libraries (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Applications, Radio). Previously suscribed podcasts had corresponding folders in the Podcasts subfolder, but there were no subfolders for the other five libraries.
I dragged the two mp3's into the Podcasts subfolder, but it didn't show up in iTunes. I then emulated the previously subscribed podcasts by creating a TheWatersOfMeribah folder within the Podcasts subfolder, then dragged the mp3's into that folder. Again, no joy.
Surely, I doing something very wrong. What is the way to download mp3's into one's iPod Touch?

Apple rejects my alias wrote:
That's the thing, it's not a subscription podcast. It's just an mp3 file. Entering a URL as worked for subscription podcasts, but hasn't worked for the URL of the mp3 file.
No, it won't!
I've checked the links you provided and the problem is - they are not Podcasts (as you noted), despite what the text on the page says. In order to get these programmes into the Podcast section of iTunes, they must be downloaded _as Podcasts._ So why not get the Podcast?
First, let's get the Podcast, then I'll explain what the problem has been.
To actually get the Podcast; on the pages you linked, look for and click on the *iTunes/1 click* button, just above the donate button. You may get a dialogue box appear that says "This link needs to open an application. Send to:" and one of the choices should be iTunes - choose it. That step may be skipped and you may go straight to iTunes.
When iTunes does open, it should go to the *iTunes Store/Podcasts/.../Transmissions From Beyond* page, where you can select individual episodes or subscribe to the complete series. Make your choice. The advantage of subscribing is that iTunes will then do all the work of finding new episodes, downloading them and syncing them to your iPod.
An alternative is to search in the iTunes Store for "Transmissions From Beyond" which will find the Podcast. I've just done this, so I know it works!
Now, what was the problem?
On the pages you linked to, the authors keep referring to everything as a Podcast, but an mp3 file _is only a Podcast_ if it's downloaded through a "Podcast catcher", such as iTunes. This whole process then keeps track of new episodes and can also automate the removal of an episode that you have listened to if you wish. (See the options in the Podcast tab of your iPod when you connect it to iTunes.)
If you download the mp3 files as you did, they are simply mp3 files, which will end up in the music section of your library, perhaps with a genre of Podcast. (To be a Podcast, the file needs to have a *Media Kind* of Podcast, not the genre. A Podcast can have any genre, speech, music, drama etc.)
As you have seen, even the content providers are mis-informed about what a Podcast is.
By the way, when you tried "entering the URL" - iTunes will only recognise valid *Podcast Feed URLs,* but not the location of an mp3 file. The enter URL option is useful if you have the *Podcast Feed* of a Podcast that is not listed in the iTunes Store.
Finally, in fact you have downloaded the mp3 file _three times._
The first time as TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah.mp3,
the second time as TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[1].mp3,
and a third time as TFB020TheWatersOfMeribah[2].mp3
