Create download link for music or video

You can try this. I've tried it, and it's working for me.

<a href="link/to/your/download/file" download> Download link </a>

It depends of your browser settings and plugins however if you are using php you can do a script to download the file like this one:

<?php   
if (isset($_GET['file'])) { 
    $file = $_GET['file'] ;
        if (file_exists($file) && is_readable($file) && preg_match('/\.mp3$/',$file))  { 
            header('Content-type: application/mp3');  
            header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");   
            readfile($file); 
        } 
    } else { 
    header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); 
    echo "<h1>Error 404: File Not Found: <br /><em>$file</em></h1>"; 
} 
?>

save it as download.php

then create a link like this one

<html>
<body>
<a href="download.php?file=test.mp3">download</a>
</body>    
</html>

It should work now, have a nice day.
