    I made link to mp3 file for download after clicking this link. However, I found it will automatically play this mp3 file.

    Do any one know how to force download after clicking this link?

    To play or download is really controlled by the user’s web browser. The only way you can force a download is to upload your mp3 files as .zip files instead.

    @moonjw,

    I was able to accomplish a “force mp3” download by adding the following to the .htaccess file.

    <FilesMatch "\.(mov|mp3|jpg|pdf)$">
  ForceType application/octet-stream
  Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>

    I am trying to upload a .Mp3 file to my wordpress server using MEDIA, ADD NEW.
    When I select the file and add it I get and error that says “HTTP error” it does not matter if I use the multi-file or the Browser uploader I get the same error. The size of the file is 113,327KB.

    Can someone tell me how to get the file uploaded ???

    Thanks
