prevent external access to mp3 files

I am writing and rewriting my htaccess and does not work properly, it is still possible to listen to my mp3 files from an external website with a direct link:

DirectoryIndex index.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^frenchspanishonline.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http\:\/\/www\.\ frenchspanishonline\.com\/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?frenchspanishonline.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf|mp3|css)$ - [NC,F,L]

order allow,deny
deny from atirchad.com
deny from 66.96.144.190
allow from all

I managed to block swf files but not mp3 ones, don't know why! If I write a specific Rewriterule to the site I want to block, it blocks my own website! any help?

I found that 

RewriteEngine on
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} atirchad\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

blocks mp3 in Chrome, Firefox and IE but not in Safari.

The truth is, you can control it, but only in a limited way, unfortunately.

Your current solution relies on http referer header - which may and mey not be sent. It's up to end browsers to decide if they will provide you tracking information or not.

Thus, there is no 100% working solution.

The problem here is probabkly that the first rewrite condition is true and so it won't jump to the next one.

If you are using cpanel, there is "HotLink Protect" feature. If you really want to use following code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://jmsliu.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://jmsliu.com$      [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

At least, it works for me. I hope it can help you as well.

Thanks
