Login page with music samples

[kuba2]

Hello there

I made a Website for a musician. Now I need to make a login website, where people from the press can listen to songs, without beeing able to download them.

Questions:

1 Does anybody know a tutorial for the login/PHP requirements ( I am new to this...)

2. What kind of Musicplayer do I use? Is Soundcloud a option?

Thanks a lot

All the best

Jakob

Hello,

you might look at this module for the login thing :  https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8387-page-protector

and some snippets code there:  https://processwire.com/talk/topic/107-custom-login/

Like everything that you share on the web, people will always be able to download it if they really want to. There are for instance sites that download any soundcloud file for you.

I think the easiest way is to use the <audio> element, and if you want to make it less easy to download, just remove the element from view and use the API to create custom commands, or use a plugin that will do that for you (ex: http://kolber.github.io/audiojs/). This will at least force them to go to the source code to know where to get the file.

It really depends on the people that you will give access to, so make sure you chose them well. You can always degrade the files, either by cropping them or by reducing the sound quality, to make them less valuable and still show the music, but this might annoy the people you are trying to impress. I would tend to just be very picky with whom I would invite to listen, and be very clear about the conditions by writing it on that page. I believe that showing trust will give your client better reviews.
