Play and download audio file on the same page in Drupal

First of all i work with Drupal 7.

I have a custom content type which allows me to upload an audio file. I found a way to play the audio file when the user access a page of this content type.

Now i want to let the user download the audio file, but not remove the play capabilities. I want to add a download button on the same page (details page of the content type).

Can someone explain me how to do it ? I've got nowhere on this matter.

There are many ways to achieve this, depending on your drupal expertise. If you are using node templates, then you can print the same variable twice, once inside the music player plug in, and once with a download button. Something like this:

...... prints other fields .....

<my-audio-player src="<?php print $node->field_my_audio_field;?>"/>

<a href="<?php print $node->field_my_audio_field;?>">Click to download</a>

...... prints other fields .....

To force the download instead of opening, check this: Force browsers to download a file rather than open

To achieve this without writing any code or templates, you can do what Fleix Eve have suggested above. Set the display settings as direct download. Then create a block view which shows your audio file field, take the argument from URL. Then set tat block to display on node-view.
