if you are asking about how to restrict access to a file -in your case MP3 file- i just made a solution couple monthes ago with PHP that you may re implement create a table with fields ( path , token) for every request of a file create a token for it with that path in that table create a controller that get the token as parameter and download the file when user access the url through that controller you'll delete the record make the controller show 404 if the token wasn't in the table you can add a column for user id in case the file is available for multiple user
that's how you'll get a single use URL :) please till me if there is any hole in my logic ---- Emad Elsaid a.k.a.
