    I wish to put about 15 music files (mp3, or WMP format) on my website...which i use dreamweaver to use...

    But i dont want the files to be DOWNLOADABLE by visitors... I want to be able to PRESS PLAY on the button, and PRESS STOP on the button...

    so they JUST listen, but they CANT download.... (perhaps opening up as a windows media player file?)


    What ways can this be acheived? any website companies which help this ?

    Get back, with advice...

    You can't. Even youtube can't prevent people from downloading videos. The best you can do is make it annoyingly difficult to download, by say using a Flash player (like YouTube does with videos).

    They still will be able to download the songs. They can just get a program that records sounds from the computer and play the song. There are many out there. So i don't think you can really protect them from getting downloaded.

    It's basically impossible to make it FULLY non-downloadable, some cracker will just work it out...
