Download function

[Suchy]

I have a simple function for downloading mp3s from my site:

 

function

  function song01() 
  {
  		window.location = "http://www.somewebsite.com/sample1.mp3"; 
  }
  function song02() 
  {
  		window.location = "http://www.somewebsite.com/sample2.mp3"; 
  }
  function song03() 
  {
  		window.location = "http://www.somewebsite.com/sample3.mp3";  
  }

 

html link

<a href="javascript:song01()" >Sample mp3 1</a>
<a href="javascript:song02()" >Sample mp3 2</a>
<a href="javascript:song03()" >Sample mp3 3</a>

 

The problem is that when I click on the link windows media player (in IE ) or quicktime (in firefox) opens up and plays the song.

 

What can I do so that when someone clicks on the link the mp3 file will start downloading to their computer?

save them as .zip files instead. That should solve it.
