Hi all i came across some links for mp3 that looks like this :

I wonder how i can make one like this for my mp3 . As u see it does not show the actual url of mp3 but if u click on it it start lunching media palyer and the songs player. Also i wonder how to get the actual url of the song ?Thanks

If there script is setup right there is no URL to the file. You can do this by storing the music off the web server, and then when a user enters id=636 you can have an INI file setup like
[Music]
1=Bleh.mp3
all the way to
636=Song.mp3

when the value of 636 is read it will return Song.mp3 you can read the song like you would with a text box, and tell the browser it is an mp3 file by using headers and it will prompt the user to download it. This way you can store all music off the web server, and still have it downloaded.
