I have seen sights where you can preview an audio clip for free but, for the whole song you have to purchase. but, if you try to download the clip without paying ,after you download it all you get is a high screeching or static.

how do i do this, is it by lowering the bitrate when i export and if so, to what level?

Actually it's the flash embed streaming, it calls for the right file when previewing, but when you download it, it gives you the link to a broken file...

The easiest way to do this is to provide a high bit-rate but intro only music for preview, or a complete track in low bit-rate with the option to download the high bit-rate version... it's the simplest method...
