downloading mp3 files

I am using DFP to sell songs for an artist.

Works fine, but my question is how to have a more attractive way for the person downloading the file to save the file without the browser pop up message asking to open or save?

thanks for your help,
-Jim Balthrop

that is the standard browser download file dialog box, to my knowledge, it is not possible to override the browser save file dialog box without programing your own delivery method.

This can be done with PHP headers, something I would love to see incorporated with DFP!

I just made a post in the wishlist, that DFP get some needed enhancements, and this was one of them. The ability to "force a download" rather than leave it up to the browser settings.

Here is an example of how you can do this:
