I see a problem with trying to prevent hot linking using Netjuke.  
 
Since to stream Netjuke just creates a playlist file that has the
address to each mp3 you want to stream.  However, I do believe than the
use of a required link script would not allow a media player to stream
the file, as the media player wouldn't be trying to access the mp3
through a link on a page.   Netjuke doesn't actually have hyperlinks to
mp3s anywhere, except inside of a generated playlist, so I don't even
see how prevention of hotlinks would be implemented.  If all you want is
links to mp3s for others to download, Netjuke is really not designed for
that, as it is designed as more of a mp3 database management and
streaming tool (which it is quite excellent at), and there are much
simpler solutions which would be easy to use with a hot link prevention
script.
 
Just a thought.
