If you put a direct link to mp3's, a lot of people will get their media player of choice starting automatically. This can be annoying if they just want to download tracks and listen to them later.

So maybe it's a better idea to zip them and point the links to zip files, so the browser will automatically offer the user to save the zip file to disk.

getURL("music.zip");

will open the save/open dialog box for download
