How do I tell the "Download" tool to ask me what to do with a download?

I was attempting to download an MP3 that a friend had sent to me, but when I went to hit the 'Save File' button on the small window that says 'Open in...' or 'Save file to...' (Or something like that), I accidentally hit the button that says 'Always do this with this type of file' and didn't realize it until AFTER I hit the button to proceed with my download. Is there a way to fix this so the downloading tool will ask me what to do with an MP3 download again?
