I made a page with five mp3’s on it. Each song has two buttons - one to play (loadSound), one to download (getURL).
On a pc, I click on the play button, and the song starts playing, I click on the download button, and the songs start downloading.
But in a mac, the getURL buttons do not let me download the songs, it only opens the song with the player. To save it on the computer, I have to go file-\>save. But I dont want to do that.
How can I fix this?

I’m sure it’s a browser setting. It is in the PC world anyway. I don’t use apples…I eat them. 😛

On the same mac, same ie, there are links that I click on and it downloads. So it’s not consistent that mac doesnt download when you click on it, I am confused - how do i fix it, through flash? or how?

mac’s can use stuffit expander (free vers. comes stock with the os) to handle zips =) … so same compression will work for both
