What's the best way to protect mp3 or other files you have in a flash player like this:

Url: http://flash-mp3-player.net/

The code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://flash-mp3-player.net/medias/player_mp3.swf" width="200" height="20"> <param name="movie" value="http://flash-mp3-player.net/medias/player_mp3.swf" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http%3A//flash-mp3-player.net/medias/another_world.mp3" /> </object>

It's just an example of a simple flash player.
But how can you avoid people downloading the mp3's?

I'm making a website for a friend his music band, and he wants some mp3's on it to play in a flash player, but he wants the mp3s protected.

Can I do it with something simple like:
- htaccess
- chmod files
- no-right-click for source
- encrypt the whole html
- ...

Those things don't look secure to me.

How would you guys do it? Or what's the best solution?
Is there a solution without making up some database with sql or php protected scripts?

Don't put them online.

Or setup .mu3 playlists rather than using a flash player

I can't see a reason why I should put this online as .mu3 instead of .mp3 like you showed in the link: http://www.developingwebs.net/html/mp3.php


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://flash-mp3-player.net/medias/player_mp3.swf" width="200" height="20"> <param name="movie" value="http://flash-mp3-player.net/medias/player_mp3.swf" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http%3A//flash-mp3-player.net/medias/another_world.mu3" /> </object>

If people look in the code, they can still download the .mu3 and rename it.
What's the point of doing that?

The .mu3 is a playlist in a text file NOT the original MP3.
