Now that we have licked the issue of allowing iPhone users to listen to our sermons, 2 users have said that when they click the "download" link, they receive the following message: "Can not play movie. The server is not correctly configured". Any ideas?

I think the error has something to do with the fact that with our download link, the mp3 file is going through a PHP script instead of being directly linked.
However, it doesn't really matter because Apple does not allow an iPhone to download an mp3 file directly into the iPhone for storage/offline listening. In order to download and save an mp3 file, they have to go through iTunes.
For example, here is a direct download link of one of our church's recent sermons:
Lost, Unreached, and Unengaged
If you click on this link using an iPhone, it will start playing in the device's movie player, just like you've already got working on your site with the new play button. But it won't let you save it for later listening. If you want to do that, you have to use a computer to save the mp3 file, then use iTunes to transfer it to your device.

Since I am a cell-phone murderer, I did not know that (I break them frequently so I don't have a nice one). So now what we need is some way to hide the download link for mobile device users. Any takers?

I can successfully listen to sermons at sermons.aisquith.org on my iPhone, by clicking on the download link. And whilst Safari doesn't support downloading (only listening), other browsers for the iPhone do support downloads, so I think it best to leave things as they are.

Hi Mark. I have not had any complaints since that first time, so I would agree. My iPhone users are *very* happy now, and SB seems to work with no problems when using a iPhone or other smart phone theme.
