Hi, is there a way to offer a user a download of an audio file? The audio file needs to be contained as a course resource/asset, not as a link to an external server.
I’ve looked at:
- Resources - it won’t allow audio
- Links component - it cannot point to an asset
Any advice is much appreciated.

Hey Andy!
If you upload the file using the Audio component, the user should be able to right click on the audio player and choose “Save Audio as…” (or browser/computer equivalent). So you could instruct them to do this on the page?
I have only tested it on Chrome on Mac, but give it a go on your setup and see what you think?
If you want to force a download then zipping up the file is always the best option. Linking directly to a file may cause it to be opened in the learner’s browser, depending on the browser & how it’s configured.
