Media getting opened not downloaded

Well this problem is with both IE and FF.
I am using EDL Downloads Module. Things like .mp3 files and other media files don't get downloaded when I click on the download link but get opened in WMP or some other player.

In IE I can atleast select save link as, but in FF I can't even do that.

Any suggestions?

Sure you can Smile

In FF - Select Tools -> Options -> Content -> File Types (Configure How FF handles certain types of files) -> Manage -> Scroll down to MP3 and click on it -> Select Change Action -> Select which option you want

I would, but unfortunately forcing my users takes a bit more persuasion Very Happy

My guess would be Control Panel -> Folder Options -> File Types.

But neither of these solutions will help your users. That only changes the browser for you, not them.

You could place the media files in Zip file, or something similar.
