Allow only PARTIAL preview before mp3 download

[kittycat]

I use Zen Cart 1.3.9g
I've been going through all the threads and went through these tutorials: http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=71

The goal is to have a product with a mp3 file for download BUT allow only a partial preview of the song to the customer prior to purchase.
I already successfully set up my media collection and linked it to my first product. When a customer clicks on the song listed in the media collection a new window opens and the song plays.
That makes it very easy for people to just rip the song off without having to pay.

There are a lot of mp3 players out there for web pages but i don't know what folder to install them into and if at all compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.9g.
I actually tried to install a few of them without success. Any advice is appreciated!

Consider this: The media-manager tool is *only* a preview tool (ie: these files are NOT the same files as the customer receives when they buy the item). So, the only mp3 clips you should upload for it *are* previews.

So, the solution is simple: upload pre-trimmed preview versions of your mp3 files.

Oh my goodness - thank you so much!!
"media-manager tool is *only* a preview tool. " What an important piece of information ! That wasn't mentioned in any of the tutorials and it makes EVERYTHING so clear! Well I tried it and it works of course so thank you for your input!!
