Hello youyou, and welcome to the forums.

Are you saying that the mp3 file gets saved in the browser's cookie folder when people play it? Or that it causes a cookie to be saved?

[tangor]

Biggest problem is it is going to their browser cache!

hello tedster yes this what i maen mp3 file gets saved in the browser's cookie folder when people play it

so how do i Disable it?

Does this happen with all browsers or just certain ones, like IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc.?

how are you serving the mp3 content?
my first guess would be that you have an improperly constructed HTTP Response such that the mp3 file is contained in the cookie data.
however cookies are typically limited to 4KB which would be a small mp3 file.
my second guess is that there is a bug in the player that is cacheing the mp3 file in the cookie folder.
i don't know of any way you could specify where a file goes from the server.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, youyou :)

I may be wrong, but I think you probably mean the browser cache folder as opposed to the cookie folder.

It isn't easy to prevent caching of files like this, since in order to play, it must be downloaded to a user's computer. However, you could try to use additional techniques like audio streaming which will make it more difficult for users to obtain a copy of your mp3. E.g. load the mp3 via a flash/swf file or some similar mechanism and attempt to make it harder for users to retrieve it from their local cache that way - similar to myspace or youtube.

in general you can suggest user agent behaviour with your response but you cannot force such behaviour.
you can make it difficult just not impossible.
this is necessarily so for usability and accessibility reasons.

will i'm useing flash mp3 player so when the song is playing is saveing in the Temporary Internet Files this what i maen come on guys i really neeed this i wish i can post the website & show you what i maen but i cant as Terms of Service Of this website i cant :(

if i cant Disable cookie by using .htaccess what about any other way ?

[tedster]

If you could disable all local storage of the file, then the user could not play it at all.

[Receptional Andy]

youyou, do you see the same behaviour if you watch (for instance) a youtube video or listen to audio on myspace? If not, then it is your flash player that is not working as you desire.

[youyou]

Receptional Andy no is not the same.
i gus i give up i been looking for this over 1 year any way thank you guys for trying to help me.

thank you again all

Then as Receptional Andy said, "it is your flash player that is not working as you desire."
