Hi,
I use the audio block for lots of article content, and one complaint I have from users is it isn't clear how to actually download the audio file to their desktop/mobile (as many of our readers need to do this to play later offline i.e. when driving).
Currently, when a user clicks on the Download This Track it just opens the audio player in another window (and doesn't download to the desktop etc.).
At the moment I have got round this by changing the language file to say Right-click & save to download - which isn't ideal.
One way around this might be to have the Play button and a separate download link that actually triggers the Save link as (which appears when you right click).
If it can't be added as a new feature, is there any way I can adapt my own code to do this?
Kind regards
Mel
