Response to: Preventing Browsers from Automatically Downloading Embedded MP3s
@Josh: I assume you're referring to the example on page 3 of “Build a Better Web Audio Player” (http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2006/05/31/build-a-better-web-audio-player.html), because the pop-up method shown here doesn’t load the file until the link is clicked. I’ve explored two alternatives. This one (http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2007/06/08/web-audio-javascript-tricks.html) embeds a player right in front of the link when a visitor clicks the link. This one (http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2006/09/29/two-slick-quicktime-tricks.html?page=2) “unhides” the player when the link is clicked.

  Your "Slick Trick No. 2" from http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2006/09/29/two-slick-quicktime-tricks.html?page=2 seems like it should work well for me. Thank you so much!
