Hi everybody,

I'm using the anti-direct-linking mode on my XOOPS site with the wmpdownloads module. However, some people who have their .mp3 mime type settings in Windows to set a direct play (such as QuickTime) can only directly play an mp3 tune in this way. When they right-click the download and choose 'Save as...', they can only download visit.html which is the anti-direct-linking warning page.

How can I stop this from happening and allow people to download my mp3's without turning the anti-direct-linking option off?

Thank you in advance,

Joost.

i would suggest that it is the user's problem. maybe post a small how-to for users to change their settings to function with your site accordingly.

I'm of the same opionion as bd_csmc here. There is only so much you can do server side before you start making your setup too complex. I think a how-to would be a good compromise here.
