PHP Streaming MP3

Question

I have a very similar situation to the person who asked: Can I serve MP3 files with PHP? Basically I am trying to protect mp3 files from direct download, so users have to go

Answer 1

Applying all these solutions, which are valid to hide the original path and filename, unfortunately doesn't prevent from unauthorized download. Indeed the client (on my case: Chrome) downloads the file.

Here the lines I put on my server:

with or without the line

    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); 

the final result doesn't change The directory /mp3 is located into

/home/myuser/

(thus /home/myuser/mp3) and the public HTML directory is

/home/myuser/public_html

thus calling my domain and giving

/player.php?file=music.mp3

it downloads a file called music.mp3 with all the original content.
