    Chrome: Website downloads music file instead of playing automatically

    I used to go to this website and the music automatically played without anything else needing to be opened..

    Recently, whenever I go to this site, a mp3 file downloads to my computer and I need to click on it for the music to play. When I click on it, a small Windows Media player opens.

    Now I have all these mp3 files downloaded on my computer.

    I don't know of any changes I made to my browser that would cause this.

    I am guessing I can change a setting to prevent the download and have it automatically play, but don't know what.

    The site is for a restaurant so it should be safe.

    Did the same to me. Probably a badly written page.
