How to lock (or make impossible) media downloads from web site

When I go to other websites like Soundcloud, audiomack... I can see the link of the audio from the web dev tool [from Firefox], if I click those links I can download the songs. Why from Spotify I can't play the downloaded songs, but the browser can? I would like to create a website that makes it impossible to download the medias.

Note: I can download the audio file. I open the audio file from Vlc and it shows the exact total time that is in the web. But VLC cannot play the hole song, but the browser or Spotify web player can.

It’s called digital rights management, or DRM. Chrome uses widevine, safari uses FairPlay and Microsoft has playready.
