Preview Songs

Hi Germi,

I know it's a long shot but...is there any possible way to have unregistered users preview say 30 sec. of a song, but allow registered users full access? Maybe some additional code I can add? I don't want to completely restrict the music section to registered users only...but don't want to waste bandwidth either.

Any ideas?

**Or maybe an IF Condition to only allow registered users to see the songs?

    well, it surely can be done adding some extra coding here and there...

    but its a bit work, I cannot just tell you how in a couple lines :S

    to get an idea:

    you need to have a new field on the songs database table, for 30 sec previews

    you need to add backend administration for those new fields, including file handling

    you need to modify several frontend files, so they show previews to non-registered, full songs to registered (album view, song view, songs view, search view, playlist view)

    and something else I probably I'm missing ;)

    so, its not a simple job.. involves many files, many layouts, and also the database tables..
