On my local version of the site I'm building, I have mp3's coded as such:

<a href="sounds/songtitle.mp3">SONG TITLE</a>

and on my local version, when I click that link my media player pops up and the tune plays.

On the server, when I click that link, the media player opens and the song plays BUT the page changes to a blank white page.

Is there a way to null that link so that it will pop up the player but not change the page?

Or did I just answer my own question? LOL

Any tips greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance :)

and on Mac, it goes to a blank white page with the QuickTime control/play buttons. Do I need to create a separate page for each song link?

:confused:

The link gets coded to a text file with extension ".m3u"

The .m3u file contains the actual url to the mp3 in question.

Similar to ram/rm/rpm/etc.

Gotta love Google groups searches!
Just posting here too in case someone else comes along looking for the answer, too :)
