sorry my code from 2 posts ago seems to have screwed this page up

OK I figured it out. there are 3 simple mods. no errors generated. basically we add a span element that sits on top of each song link element. this prevents right clicks from accessing the song link.

1) custom css: the new span has to sit on top and cover the song name entirely...

.songs li {position: relative !important; display: block; float: left; overlfow: hidden;}
.dlblock {position: absolute !important; height:100%; width:100%; z-index:2; background:none !important;}

2) php: add a line to index.php, page.php, search.php, single.php, and category.php right before each song link is retrieved so the loop looks like this...

foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
			echo "<li><span class='dlblock'></span>";
			echo wp_get_attachment_link($attachment->ID);
			echo "</li>";
		}

3) javascript: tie the new span's mouse events to the original link's events by adding this into custom.js (preferably under "//SONG STUFF"). note click events work differently and don't need to be tied.

var songBlock = jQuery("ol.songs li span");
	songBlock.live('mouseover', function(){
		jQuery(this).next('a').trigger('mouseover');
	});
	songBlock.live('mouseout', function(){
		jQuery(this).next('a').trigger('mouseout');
	});

I think that works. I tested in google chrome.

this is the what i have so far...

custom css:

.songs li {position: relative !important;}
.dlblock {width:100%; position: absolute !important; height:100%; z-index:2; background:none !important;}

modified template

if ($attachments) {
echo "<ol class='songs'>";
foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
echo "

it generates a javascript error every time a song is moused over, moused out of, or clicked, but clicking does make the song play...

I'm working on a modification to stop the files from being downloadable. I've layered a 'span' element on top of each of the song 'a' elements. by making this new element's click event trigger the song's click event, the song plays without a problem. but when you right click > save as, you get to save an html doc. i'm just having an issue triggering the mouseover/mousout events, for some reason they don't work like the click event. any idea why that is? i guess it's not critical, but i'd love to have the song titles animate.

Hi there,

If you're concerned about users downloading audio, the best thing to do is either (1) only provide a sample of the songs or (2) audiomark the songs like in the demo site.

Hope that helps.

Is there any way I can prevent the average user from downloading the MP3 files attached to my posts?
