Greetings, I'm probably posting in the wrong forum, but here goes... Web site links used to open music files on clicking button but now it just brings up junk, like the file is corrupt. I can double-click on the music file itself from my web project and it'll play and I can copy it to my PC and it'll play, but it won't play from a link on the site. Here's the page: Listen Buttons

Scroll down to the "listen" buttons and you'll see what I mean. I created a test page on the same site that links to songs on another site and they play fine from a link.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
 
I'd guess you've uploaded those files using ASCII format and so its inturpreting them as text, try re-uploading them in Binary format and see if it helps.

If your FTP software uses 'Auto Detect' or somthing simlar then that make sure you turn that off and set the transfer format your self.

Update. Many thanks Rob for your thoughts. The site changed hosts and it's fine now. Thanks again.
