How to make a link downloadable by clicking the left mouse button?

In this page I have a button which says download:

http://www.brianfunshine.com/newest-company-narration-demo/

The problem is that it opens the song in the browser it doesn't download the song. How to solve that issue?

Try adding this to the top of your .htaccess file:

<FilesMatch “.(?i:(mp3))$”>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        ForceType application/octet-stream
        Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

If you want to force download another type of file (say pdf?), just add it next to mp3, like this
<FilesMatch “.(?i:(mp3|pdf))$”>

Content-disposition is an extension to the MIME protocol that instructs a MIME user agent on how it should display an attached file.

More specifically, it looks like "content-disposition: attachment; filename=[filename]" is what you want.
