    thanks gordo ..but i didn't really understand what should i do .. is that (RMS)
    a program for protecting some kind of files from editing , copying and stuff.


    i have alot of music files that i'm planning to sell them by listening to them without copying them..
    so is there any way to do that..or there isn't as u said before?

    thanks again.. i appreciate it.

    Your computer has to download music files to read from them.
    no sir .. what i meant before that i have music on my pc and i edited them as shared for others.. but i don't want anyone to copy them ...

    i wish to allow them to listen but disallow them to copy them..( so i can sell them).
    any solution!?
    thanks a million bucks.
    regards.

    Now you may understand what Sony [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Sony_BMG_CD_copy_protection_scandal[/url]
    and the music industry are going through trying to prevent pirating their music. How the artists and companies make their ***** is through music sales, and pirating cuts profits.
