You can use macromedia flash to do this, it will embed the music file into flash. Or you can also stream the music, which will on stream and wont download.

try macromedia.com
and windows media

or to stream mp3, try download.com

Encode it and stream it as real media, some people hate real player tho.

Or try one of these Hotscripts.com :: PHP :: Scripts and Programs :: Music Libraries
