I am producing a website for a band and they want to have a downloads page where visitors to the site can listen to clips of their songs. I use Dreamweaver and am having difficulty finding the best way to achieve this.

Can anyone help?

Upload a file of said clip and then use a normal hyperlink toward said uploaded file?

Thanks, the tree, but when I do that when in browser I am redirected to a blank page with a quicktime bar and the music playing. I wanted to stay on the original page where all the download links are - there are about 10 in total.

A lot of sites are quite happy with that, considering that most users are quite capable of hitting save, either when they click the link or once they've got it open.
If that's not o.k. then you could set a MIME type of application/octet-stream to prompt the browsers to download the files.
Or maybe chuck the lot of them into a zip or tarball.
