Is there a way I can add a download button that lets visitors down an MP3 file without having to ‘Right click and save as’.
I now I can do it easily with a zip file, but my users are not tech-savvy and some of them will not want a zip file.
I’ve seen in done on other websites, but wondered if it could be done with Rapidweaver itself, or if there was a stack I could use.
I’m already using Playlisted from Stacks2stacks (which is freakin’ awesome) and that let’s me have a download button on the player for each track, which is great, but I also need to create another page that doesn’t have the player on, which is purely for people wanting to download.
You can also link to a php “force download” script which performs the download. Just google “php force download.”
Or you can use “linklokurl” which will do a nice job and it has built in ability for Amazon S3 downloads if you care to store the MP3 on S3 to keep the load off your server.
I will check that out as the files are currently stored on AWS, but I’m doing it for a charity and I doubt they’ll have any budget for more scripts so everything I’m getting I’m having to get out of my own pocket, but I don’t mind as it’s nice to be able to help out.
I did get Sitelok the other week, and absolutely loved that, so if Linklok is anything near as good then I’m sure it’s terrific, but as I say, it’s for a charity so having to do it all as cheap as possible.
