And watch out for things like spaces or other characters in the output
before you dump your mp3. I once had a problem with readfile() and
images that took hours to debug - it turned out my images weren't
displaying because of a single space character from some included file.
You may want to use output buffering up to just before
readfile/fpassthru to prevent such things from happening.
