Is there any way to prevent mp3 downloads from album play lists? Thanks for any advice.

To prevent mp3 downloads, you have to uncheck “Add To Download” checkbox and don’t provide “Download Link” as shown in the screenshot.

Thanks, I was actually referring to preventing hotlinking. I found a solution elsewhere that I can share:

Place an .htaccess file in your wp-content directory with the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourwebsite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !hotlink\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov)$ http://yourwebsite.com/ [NC]

The logic will redirect the file request back to the second URL specified.

There is a better way to do this, and I wanted to share. It is done by using base64_encode();

For example, on line 244 of single-albums.php, you can do this:

<a class="fap-single-track no-ajaxy" data-id="<?php echo $attachment->ID;?>" data-enqueue="no" data-meta="#single-player-meta" href="<?php echo base64_encode($attachment->guid);?>" title="<?php echo $attachment_title; ?>" rel="<?php echo $imagesrc[0]; ?>"><i class="ivaplay"></i></a>

The function will encode the string, hide the real filepath, and prevent downloads from right-click ‘Save Link As.’ The base64_encode() function can be used anywhere this encoding is desired.
