Long version:
I use html5 audio tag to play mp3 files on my website. With Flash I can stream mp3's and secure it for 95%.
With html5 it is easy to find out the mp3 location and just download it from there. Even if I secure it with unique hashes it is not hard to inspect the network tab in chrome and see the mp3 url with hashes.
I was wondering if there are other ways to secure the mp3 from being ripped and if it is worth the time. For example bandcamp does generate unique hashes but it is still very easy to download the mp3. For youtube you got download websites that can proces the flv stream and rip the audio and save it for the user as mp3 format.
The first layer of security I can think of is change the extension of mp3 files to .txt or another common format.
95% of the users don't spot the extension because it is hidden by default on windows and apple. This will prevent the first 95% of the users to spot and play the mp3 file.
Short Version
Any suggestions to prevent users from stealing mp3 files while using html5 audio tag.
