I have a client who has written a song to download from their website. I have FTP'd both .mp3 and .wma versions in binary mode.

When downloading it, the client says it does not work. Instead of playing the song, a small quicktime garbled clip appears. On my end, the song plays ok, and downloads fine, but when downloading, I notice some peculiar things.

In IE, I get an "Unknown File Type" message.
In FF, I get "Which is a: 䩘ɖ䴀ɣůԈ韘΂"

The link I am using for the file is:
<a href="Artist Name - The Song Name.mp3">

Any Ideas?
