Flash player has to download the mp3 to play it.
If you make it available for a player to play it then by default it can be downloaded.
The only option you would have is to encrypt it somehow and use a foreign key.
Flash player security is weak at best. But security is all about how many layers you add anyway.

Flash is client side, so it only has access to whatever the client has access to.
