If they are external links, you'll need to install a mod that hides URL's from non-registered users.  If it was attached via the attachment function you can set permissions to perform that.  But I guess you've not got it set that way.

Thank you Rumbaar for replying. I have the files hosted in my site locally. http://www.sitename.com/downloads/gospelsongs/gospel.mp3

What's the mod to hide the link ?

Also is there anyway that I can make my mails sent from the board develivered safely in the user's inbox. I mean can we avoid our mails from being marked as junk.

Ah the only mod I could find was this one:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=563

It could be tweaked I'm sure only affect guests.  It would be for all URL tho.

I was having trouble with the search function so there might be more.  I'm sure I saw URL guest based one from memory.  But it may have just been to stop them posting URLs, not viewing them.

As for your e-mail, it might not be possible.  You'll just have to warn your new members on registration to check their junk folders.
