i dont know how to make it stream, but if you dont want to give your music away why not just have parts of the track instead of the whole track, or have a lower quality version.

Even if you get a hi quality stream going, the track is still rippable if people really want it.

I think its possible to do a flash player and have the songs played that way.

Here's what you do:

You upload an mp3 to a webspace. Then you create a playlist file (*.m3u) with the url of the mp3. Then you give the people the url of the m3u file and lo - it will stream.

it work's.. but there's many people that hate realplayer.. and becaus of that they wount listen.
i heard about some other progg that could play ra format, but i haven't bothered to check that out

what mystery said is better imo... buuuuuut, it's just that for those that know, you can see the url the playlist file is playing, and download it that way... but not everyone know's how even thou it's easy

Yes...that looks pretty cool. I wasn't wanting to necessarily stop people from downloading...I just didnt want to force people to have to download it to hear it.

Good suggestion.

And dbl is right... RealAudio?? PFFFT! I deleted that hunk 0' junk the day it weaseled its way on my 'puter!
