Links to mp3 files?

[josie]

I've just posted (see below) with a link to an mp3 file which I uploaded in the same way as for photos (dragged to the bar at the bottom) hoping if one clicked on the link it would play, but instead it downloads a copy of the file. I've added a warning about this to my post - I would hope peeps are very careful about what they download and would be unhappy if this happened - I know I would be!

1) Should I put the mp3 on something like SoundCloud - would peeps be able to listen directly from there?

2) Is this a potential security weakness?

Thats correct behaviour. If you upload to soundcloud or similar you can stream from there.
