wma / drm / music download theory help!

Hi peeps

Just after a bit of theory and pointers really.

I need to develop a music downloading system, with digital rights management
etc (so users cant copy tracks). The majority of systems seem to use Windows
Media and WMA files to acheive the security side, but I have no idea how to
implement DRM, windows media, or what I'd need to add to my server, etc etc.

Any help / information / pointers to information would be useful, as would
any details on any SDKs etc I would need.

Cheers

Dan

I have a client who wants to post his music on his website so that a viewer can listen to but not download the file. I'm aware that its possible to record anything that comes out of your sound card but not everyone knows how to do that. A method that the average person doesn't know about will be sufficient for him. What's the best way to do this? I haven't ruled out Flash but I'd prefer not to use it. Any help will be greatly...

I've been learning some programming during my little sabbatical (mostly python), and I thought it'd be cool to see if other people are interested in programming for music theory.

Hello all, I'm developing a site in PHP4 for a music artist, who wants music to play across all their pages. I have loaded a simple flash applet to play the music, but every time the visitor to the site moves to a different page the music starts again. The artist would like the music to play continuously. I can only think of three possible ways to solve this, and I am not happy with any of them.

Here is a chance for you to make my developers look bad. I have hired these guys to development my website which, in part, has music demos available to my users. These demos must include the entire piece with a spoiler in the background so users can not record them freely. The files must be secure! My original request was to have them build an application that merged the two files (spoiler and original music) into a single mp3 file and have...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
