    Subject: Preloading an audio clip to the client hard disk

Hello,

I want to download a compressed sound file (e.g. MPEG3) to the client's
hard disk or to some temporary location fast enough to support playback.
Then, I want to start an external program which plays this file. Is
there any NN 3+/IE 3+ supported method to do this in
Java/JavaScript/JScript?

The downloaded file could also be downloaded to some user designated
location. The applet would not need to read any files from the local
hard disk but the ones it wrote itself. I am just looking for a way to
temporarily store the data until playback is requested by the user.

Thanks in advance.
