nvoise	Date: April 21, 2004 @ 4:41 PM if i gave someone a direct link to a song, could they download it? its for a contest at smartelectronix.

robbydadrummer	Date: April 23, 2004 @ 8:06 AM I just checked it again by putting a test page on my domain, and it's still working... both listening streams and the download.

ashleighj	Date: April 24, 2004 @ 8:25 PM my understanding (and i could be incorrect on part of this) is that each night at midnight (i think?), the download link to each song is renamed. right now, the link to my song "princess of twenty-five" (subliminal promotion, please ignore) is http://ashleighj.dmusic.com/music/download/123509/.761e149e 123509 is the song's id number, which you can use to make links on the forums and journals and such. see http://www.dmusic.com/users/internal_links if you don't know how it's done. tomorrow, the .761e149e might change to .879f456a or any other non-human-guessable number-letter combination. in fact, if you load an artist page at 11:58pm and try to download a track at 12:02am, you'd have to reload the artist page first to get the new download links. in summary, deep linking for non-subscribers will work for a maximum of 24 hours.
