He keeps getting a "Quicktime Pro" screen. With Firefox, when I first clicked it, it tried to play it with Quacktime, and then told me I needed to download more of that piece of shit. Rather than doing that, I pulled down Firefox's Tools menu, went to options, clicked applications, and then scrolled down where there were two instances of Wave Sound, which both said Quacktime. I clicked the little drop down list and selected Windows Media Player, and now it works. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

When I click on that link, using Firefox to download the file, I too get a Quicktime player in a window. My default handler for (plain ol') .wav files is supposed to be Winamp, However, your filetype shows as an audio/x-wav object. My guess is that your provider has configured the mime types in the server this way. The end-user experience is going to be based on the mime type as well as the browser configuration. You might address the issue with your hosting service and get their advice on how best to set up your site for these types of downloads. I would suggest using LAME to convert to a high-quality MP3 and make that available. Or tell the customer to right-click and "Save As..."

Or tell the customer to right-click and "Save As..." Thanks for the suggestions. But that's all I want him to do is right-click save. Not click on the file to play it. I know that can cause problems. I can do it on every computer I've come across today. Poly

Mac mice are weird; right clicking isn't always available, and doesn't always work when it's sposed to. I just downloaded the file twice on my Droid (your link and the other ). Of course , if he's a Mac user his smartphone, if he has one, is probably an iPhone and may have Quick Time too.

I've accessed my file from about a dozen computers so far without a hitch. Poly
