I want to force downloading the audio file as displayed by wordpress player instead when users click the text next to download, it currently starts playing in another window tab. It is the same in safari or firefox.

Please assist.

same here, It opens a new tab and starts displaying it instead of downloading it.

I've tried content type-audio-manage fields and the widget is set to audio upload, I click on the "edit" tab, upload destination is set to public files.
I've also tried content type-audio-display fields and the file's format is set to "audio player with download" in the default, full content, and teaser
I've also tried permission-audiofield and checked the anonymous and authenticated user

still... nothiing

What about touch screen like ipad. It would be nice to add download parameter to href tag to download file and not to play audio. The download link is useful if it download file when click or touch it.

On a touch screen you can usually just hold down on the link to pop up a download option. Alternatively its usually available through the menu system.
