Hello Gurus, I'm trying to download an mp3 using the LWP module and then save it in a file.But every time I open up the file it's all garbled and the sound is screwed up. Another thing is when I type the url directly in my browser it prompts me to save the file which it says is a php file but when I open it in Windows Media player it will still play it perfectly, so maybe that weirdness has something to do with my problem. Hopefully someone can point me in the correct direction.I've tried using different types of content-types including the type that my browser uses when getting that file. I can post the code that I'm using on request. Thanks, j3f
