Let me change the question that I'm asking. If a person points their
browser straight at an MP3, often the browser will start playing the
MP3 as it downloads (this is true for FireFox and IE on a PC, Safari on
the Mac, etc). What is it about my code, below, that keeps these
browsers from playing the file? IE tries download it, FireFox plays a
second of it and then quits.
I'm actualy fine with the file downloading. But how can I force FireFox
to download this file? Am I missing some crucial header?
