Here’s something I’ve been noticing for a long time now.

[Purevolume.com](http://Purevolume.com) has a streaming mp3 player which works ok. But most of the sites, which have such mp3 players, before actually playing the track force a download of the track itself. But I never have had this problem with the player on [Purevolume.com](http://Purevolume.com)

Everytime I try to create a streaming mp3 player flash player forces a download.

Please someone let me know how to prevent it.

Examples?

Forced downloading: the current SOTW: mediaBOOM  
No downloading: [http://www.purevolume.com/thelonephoenix](http://www.purevolume.com/thelonephoenix)

The purpose of my question? I don’t want someone downloading my music from my site unless and until they have the rights to.

Please help.

Om Shanti Shanti.
