Is it possible to download an MP3 file just by clicking on it in Google Chrome? Currently, it starts playing the file in the embedded player.

The embedded player of Chrome (plug-in?) starts once you click on a link pointing a mp3 file, try it.– cYrusAug 17, 2010 at 14:41

It downloads the file pointed by the link (whatever it is, even an HTML page), if the link points to 'file.mp3' Chrome will download it. I can't see your problem, here everything works as expected. From the Google Chrome guide (google.com/support/chrome/bin/…): Press Alt and click a link. Downloads the target of the link.– cYrusAug 17, 2010 at 18:46
I don't have the capacity to test this right now, but if I remember correctly, when the embedded music player comes up, can't you just go to the file menu and hit "Save Page as..."?
Alternatively, Holding CTRL and hitting S should do the trick as well.
Edit: I went out of my way to test, and it does work.
Orbit Downloader can do this for you.

If you have URL to mp3 song, then paste it in address bar of chrome. It will start playing the song. Then right click -> Save As... OR Crl+S to save the mp3 being played.
