It sounds as though your browser is set to automatically open mp3 files. You need to make sure that it isn't.
If you're using anything other than Internet Explorer, that'll be controlled by some part of the browser's options or preferences dialog. What that part will be called, and where it will be, will depend on the browser.
If you're using IE, you'll need to go into Windows "File Types" settings, look for the mp3 file extension, and make sure the box labeled "Confirm open after download" (or something similar to that) is checked. In XP, open the Control Panel and click on Folder Options. One of the tabs will be labeled File Types. When you find the mp3 extension, you'll need to click the "Advanced" button in order to get to the checkbox. If you have Vista, I have no idea of what you'd need to do.
