How can I force an MP3 to download from a click on a webpage?

Right now, when the user clicks a link to an MP3 (depending on the browser plug-ins installed, blah blah) the browser will open an embedded MP3 player. I want to force the browser (all browsers) to treat the link as a download only.

The best solution that I can think of to this is something like this link, but it looks like that does not work in all browsers.

Right now, I have the file zipped since .zip extensions tend to force the download prompt but this is an unnecessary step IMO.

My webpages are PHP, so a PHP solution is ideal, especially if it is elegant.

I also do not want to do that "right-click -> Save As..." nonsense either. I really want to somehow link to a page that sets the HTTP content then directs a download to the browser, something like that.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Edit: If you read Matt Farina's post on the link I provided... something like that is desired.
