prevent internet explorer from giving the option to save/download file

Question

I have a site set up so when you click a link it plays a song. chrome has an audio player that it runs. firefox has a invisible player that it runs. but ie asks if you want to open or save the file. open is fine but save is unacceptable. so how do i fix ie? I can't find anything related to my problem on the net. nothing even close. so any thoughts, advice, tell i'm a fool and i'm doing it all wrong check this out. all much appreciated

You should not expose your raw data if you don't want the user to access it, instead play it through a Flash player. Keep in mind, any computer literate user will be able to download your data anyway.
