Hi nomadsoulkarma, welcome to WebmasterWorld!

There are many fancy solutions with Javascript to your problem, which can draw very pretty boxes but the easiest way is to use the title tag in the link element to the file. For example:

<a href="/example.mp3">File name</a>

could be replaced with

<a href="/example.mp3" title="here are the tips">File name</a>

and produce a text box with the extra information if the visitors hover with their mouse above the title.
