How to creat " Preview song" button on mp3?

ParaSnake · 07-13-2005

I intend to make a script that play my media uploaded to the host(usually mp3).
But when creating "preview button" i realized that user can easily get the song via "view source".

(i use window media player plugin to play the mp3 file.)

So is there anyway to prevent it?

(My friend did it but he wont share it to me,hes suc-ker T__T,pls help me... )

Stream it via Flash?

Well, by stream it I don't mean include the song IN flash, but rather make the flash file a controller for MP3 files already present on the server, but in secret non-linked directories. They can download the flash file all they like, but without the songs in the relative positions, they won't have squat... and so far reverse engineering flash animations is a very lengthy and complex procedure - which should keep out all the opportunists...

ah,i got ur idea,thx mog,but it wont good for dial-up user

I saw some music site with their preview button,when i clicked on it,a strange code appeared after the hyperlink,when i click "view source" theres nothing i can gain from it.cool

Its also good for slow speed internet user too.
Any1 got the idea?

Actually, it depends on the bitrate of the MP3 that you are streaming. You could always have modem-quality and broadband-quality copies of your MP3, and allow the user to choose between them.
