I went through some of the same problems you're going through with this.

I wrote an MP3 plugin. It scans for mp3's, databases them,
and lets you search through them for filename/artist/genre etc etc.

I had *hoped* to add download-ability or play-ability to the plugin,
but I never had time to work on hiding the src path for a file.
I figured I could push the file to the browser, but I needed
a way to make sure that no one could ever get the src paths and try
to go a browsing in the directory tree (that apache has read-only
to in the FS) and leech the entire multi-GB collection and screw
our bandwidth.
