Any Dreamweaver Nerds know how to enable people to listen to mp3's from a site, using the users default player, but without them being able to SAVE the file.

Basically, I want the file to open, but I don't want em to be able to save it.

I know of Streaming Audio and Flash Players, but Flash just means more design work
and Streaming Audio is a chargeable service dependent on your server...right?

I also don't wanna have to make seperate Real Player files and Wave/WMA files -
Hence me using MP3's.

(I added wav files to my site and Netscape users can't hear em).

Any tips n tricks would be helpful and VERY much appreciated!

Holla Back!

It will be almost impossible to prevent people from saving your music file. Depending on the method you use, it will just be more difficult (never impossible) to save it. I am not absolutely familiar with Dreamweaver, but I believe that it only generates regular HTML and Javascript. If so, there is nothing that will prevent users from just viewing the source code of your web site and downloading it directly that way. Javascript code that disables right clicks can always be worked around by disabling Javascript in your web browser. The only way that I can think of is if you had a flash/java applet that downloaded and played the file for you. This can't be a generic player that you can pass a URL to it, it must be compiled with the URL built into the actual applet itself. (If you have to pass it to the applet as a parameter in your HTML code, then you can still see the URL to the mp3 in the HTML source code.) And even then I don't know whether or not the web browser will save a copy of the file in a temp directory.
