tearing my hair out over pseudo-streaming

I've been working on one of my clients sites, who is a small record company and they've requested that i put up a LARGE MP3 file of an interview they did. Admittedly i don't have a lot of experience with sound files, but i realized the best way to do this was to have the file stream from the server. So i Figured out how to do this by directing the link to an .m3u file, and cross my fingers and hope that it does what it's supposed to; open the file in iTunes and begin streaming.
I tested the page in preview, and it worked perfectly, but when i uploaded the page to the server, i get a 404 when i click the link.
I know that i'm able to do this, because the site that i got the information from on pseudo-streaming had a link to click directed to an .m3u file and it opened the streaming file in iTunes no problem... so what did i do wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
If it matters, i'm working in OS X 10.3.3 with dreamweaver MX and previewing on IE5 and Safari.
