Hey I have a website for my band and we have players that allow you to stream our music. I put download buttons in but I can't figure out how force the browser to download the file opposed to the users web browser prefference (which is you usually play the file)

I googled this and came up with a lot of stuff I didn't understand as far as php (don't know what that is)

my issue is I also want viewers to be able to download my mp3 file (to put in the ipod n what not) so i included a download link which has a link such as www.ihatehtml.com/audio/singforthemoment.mp3

now the problem is when the browser opens "www.ihatehtml.com/audio/singforthemoment.mp3" it wants to play it in quicktime or windows media player (depending on your personal computer settings). what i'm trying to accomplish is i want the download dialog to pop up WITHOUT having to click save target as.

all of my tracks have spaces and when i plug the links into front page it autimatacally inserts codes to comensate which are something like %20 (whatever it is) so it would read like "eminem%20sing%20for%20the%20moment) could this effect what i'm trying to do?

I've done hours and hours of reserach and found codes that require "a stand
