    Hi, 

    I use Amazon S3 to store my mp3's and I wanted to let people stream the whole songs but don't want them to be able to download them directly from the link they can find in the source of the page. So how would I stream it without them seeing the path to the mp3? 

    Or is this not something you support here? 


    Thanks!

    Hi Roger, 

    This is from 2017 but it may help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XHAQ67yGsg

    I understand from what you say Roger that the Soonar player recognizes the links provided from S3 then. I'm looking into this for my website too. I guess you have the mp3 in a public bucket... or is it private and you set up the play permissions?

    Maxime if the player can play streaming from S3 it should be written somewhere. It's important info even for your promotional purposes.

    Yes it can play from S3. but the link will still be accesssible by a tech-savyy user since the browser needs the direct media link to be played in a browser.

    Thanks,

    I guess then it's about adding a voice tag or reducing audio quality...

    Wondering if this couldn't be achieved by sending the link through PHP code to the Playlist stream link or directly to the audio player:
