Question on downloading file to user...

I have a database that is storing audio data and I want to be able to upload that to the user through an HREF and just have media player/real audio pop up. I have the basics working, although it isn't quite the way I wanted it to be. Basically I set the content type to be audio/wav and the filename then I just turn the fire hose on and pump the data down to the user. Netscape under Linux comes close (it asks to save the file), but IE 5.5 insists on opening the file in the browser window like it's text. If I tell IE to save the file then I can open it up in RA Player and it works fine. This might be slightly OT but I thought someone else here might have had a similar requirement. TIA, Eric
