is there way download instead of opening in browser?

i needed run on ie , option have through javascript or jquery. else simpler can suggested.

i aware of html5 download attribute, doesn't support on ie.

i found this: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?244007-resolved-force-download-of-mp3-file-instead-of-streaming , similar things excel files.

directly there:

use small php file handle download, put in same folder .mp3:

<?php $file = $_get['file']; header ("content-type: octet/stream"); header ("content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";"); header("content-length: ".filesize($file)); readfile($file); exit; ?> 

which can accessed in anchor this:

<a href="direct_download.php?file=fineline.mp3">download mp3</a>
