Hello

Question
how to protect mp3 files from been downloaded (beside the block all download from audio module)
we are are planing to go into a second stage in our platform and i find out I need to protect mp3 better
we'll be creating a new skin but i would like to included a secure way to stream mp3 on my website with out users been able to download them. by check html sources or browser network.

I would like encrypted track (audio / video) paths, for example the path content/videos/filepath.mp3 to something encrypted for example encrypt:70de891f83b42a958770b738fd3b66f2 this way it will be impossible to steal the track by crawling the page source..

I was going around my website and trying to steal music etc and i found out is very easy to do it.
i can copy the path of the mp3 open a new tab and in chrome i can load the song click download and done.

I don't want to to crazy changing audio module because i want to be able to upgrade in the future so i don't know where to start. if you guys have any ideas how we can implement this

thank you.

Anything that can be streamed can be 'stolen'. Not much we can do about that. But you say you grab the URL path of the media from the source code and get the files that way? If the media is set to 'no download' or if it is for sale, that shouldn't be possible. Can you tell us how to replicate this?
Thanks
