Disabling mp3 downloads

I have music on my website.
I have linked the titles to the files and they play when the word link is clicked.
There is a white bar across the middle with basic controls and also three dots which when clicked offer a download of the file.
Is there a way to disable that as the music belongs to the players and I do not want to distribute their music, only have it on the website to listen to?
Thank you
Adrian

Hello.Please link to the website page so that I can see the player.Perhaps I can tell you how to remove the link to download the file.But this will not prevent anyone from downloading the audio file (if they see the page code).

Thank you, here is the link to the page I am building. The page is not live yet. Click on any of the links to hear the music.

Hello Adrian,
you need also to protect the listing of your directory
And CTRL+U is always possible to analyze the source code !
Enjoy!

Into video tag I know that this control exists
Controlslist="nodownload"
try it !

Thank you for your help although I do not understand the code. I have gone for the Audio Player now but I would still like to know how to remove the download feature if that is possible because the player does not do all I want it to and the original way is more versatile for me.

I can't see the download buttons.But you can still download the files.There is no 100% copy protection.
