Hi Karl --
You can store the file contents outside of the web tree and use PHP
to "read" the contents. This allows you to place access control
restrictions in the PHP script.
This post talks about doing something similar with images.
Obviously, if you have a music track... you'll need to adjust the
mime type accordingly.

Good luck.

Subject: File Downloads
Hello,
How can I go about restricting the number of downloads of a file on
my server?
For Eg: if I want a music track to only be able to be downloaded by
150 people and thats it.. ever,
how can I go about doing this?
Much obliged,

Very Nice. Good link.
I think this is the route I may go.
Seems a bit more secure if the php script gains access to the file
through the .htaccess files set-up.
Thanks Adam.
