Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Check that the PHP script is returning the right media type:

header('Content-Type: audio/mpeg');

If it isn't, a player should indeed refuse to play it.

If it is OK, and Spark is just being stupid and guessing filetype from the file extension instead of the proper media type, you might try to work around it by hacking the URL, eg. somepage.php/something.mp3?id=100 or maybe somepage.php?id=100&ignore=/something.mp3.

The server was not returning the mp3 content type. The hack worked! Here is what was being returned:Content-Disposition attachment; filename=noooooo.mp3;Content-Length 214922Content-Transfer-Encoding binaryContent-Type application/octet-stream

The hack does not seem to be working. It looks like I need the content type set.
