How about something like -
"http://www.blahblahblah.net/membersonly.php?Lesson1.mp3"
Then, if they're logged in, copy the MP3 from an off-web directory into
a temporary unique filename.
When the session ends, delete the uniquely named mp3.
If someone gets that filename, they'll only get a taste of it before the
real user ends their session and the file disappears.
Of course, this idea isn't much good if you don't have a lot of
directory space - because like if all of your users want lesson one at
the same time - a copy will be made for each and every user.
Even then a 10MB MP3 accessed by 100 users at the same time will only be
one GB... and you'll get it back when they're done.
