Hi all

i am arranging a lecture database for a client, and would like to offer the option to download the lecture (its all mp3 format) OR - to listen to it straight fron the net.

anyone know how this is done?
linking to the MP3 file - pops the "save/open" dialog - whereas i would have expected it to just open Windows Media Player to play. no?

thanks!
 
In order to force MP3 streaming, post a text file with containing the URI of the MP3 file, e.g. "http://www.mydomain.com/audio/lecture.mp3". Name the file something.M3U. Nice low-tech way to get streaming without a special server or player, and the user can use whatever MP3 player they like.
