How can I give visitors the option of downloading an audio file instead of
streaming it?

Hi Jana,

You can do it three ways:

1. Put instructions there that tell the user to right-click and use "Save
As" to download the file direct from the link.

2. Provide a .ZIP version of the file and link to it.

3. Use PHP to force a file download.

Chuck Joslin has a tutorial on how to do this at his Beyond Fusion website:

Does that help?

If you wanted to sell the files you could also sign up to Mals-e

You can do this through their shopping cart.
