That is default browser action for .mp3 files.
If you are using apache web server(it used on almost all webservers) then you can easy change it in .htaccess file (that placed in root folder of wordpress). You just need add here next commands, to let browser download file instead play it:
AddType application/octet-stream .mp3
<Files *.mp3>
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</Files>
Perhaps you will need restart your apache server to apply those changes. Depends on server preferences.
Tell me if here still problem after those changes.
Good luck!
How can I access the .htaccess file? I have tried downloading it from FTP clients, but it seems to not go to where I save it.

Try use wordpress plugin:
WP Htaccess Editor
It will allow you edit .htaccess file from admin.

I’m glad that it’s works for you!
🙂
It seems that it works in safari, but not in chrome. Any ideas why that is?

I tried in Chrome 28.0.1500.71 under Mac OS. It works for me.
Perhaps here is system or browser version nuance.
What is your OS and version of Chrome?
Btw. Did you try refresh page/cache? Perhaps here is some cached data…

If you can – show me link to your web site. I can test it – how it will work for me.
I did refresh the cache. I have a Mac OS X
