You might be looking for this part of S3: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/2006-03-01/index.html?S3_QSAuth.html
That will let you generate a URL that has an expiration date for a particular file; you may also be able to use Amazon FPS to handle the payment part of the system. --- On a totally non-Rails related note, I'm still amazed at all the sites that think an "mp3 store" will create lots of revenue. It may bring in a little cash, but ultimately iTunes has a massive lock on the market. See some figures here: http://cdbaby.org/stories/09/01/15/8158752.html For 2008, iTunes generated roughly 85% of sales. The remaining 15% includes virtually every other major digital download site (Yahoo, Napster, Rhapsody, etc). The only thing that amazes me more than the thousands of tiny mp3 stores is the constant VC attention to the "MySpace music store" thing. What sane user would *ever* type their credit card info into part of Myspace?? --Matt Jones On Mar 27, 11:45 am, Milan Dobrota <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm mostly interested in mp3 files.
