Set the Content-Disposition header to attachment; filename=filename.mp3. This will suggest to the browser that it should prompt the user to save as the given file name.

I believe you can just send a content-disposition header. I.e.

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<file name.ext>

And that should force the option to download the file.
