I want to make my music not downloadable

Expand Post »
Heya, i am creating a personal site using Microsoft Frontpage. To make the site more intersting i have added music .. But i know if i allow people to download it from my site it will be illegal. Can anyone help me and tell me how to make the music unavailable to download and to listen to ONLY?.

Thanks,
Killswitch.

Re: I want to make my music not downloadable

[HTML]<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function playSound(soundUrl)
{
document.getElementById("sounds").src = soundUrl;
}
</SCRIPT>[/HTML]

and something like

[HTML]bgsound="javascript:playSound('song location')"[/HTML]

Re: I want to make my music not downloadable

I'm confused. Anyone would be able to view the source of the HTML page, see the location of the sound file, and download it directly? You would need to stream media somehow ... a streaming server? I'm not exactly sure how it works

Yeah you can put in place a media player in your site so that the music/vid plays in it. I havent tried this to see if it stops ppl being able to download the music.

Re: I want to make my music not downloadable

Do you even know what "downloading" is? (Sorry for being abrasive.) It is impossible for a user's computer to play the music that is on your server without having downloaded it first.

What you want is impossible.

no, What i want is for people to open the music within the site and not be able to download it on their pc as downloading the music for free would be illegal....
