Well you could have a php script that displays a download form. The
form, when executed would update a MySQL database with a download count,
copy the MP3 on the server to another filename on server, then download
the file into the browser. Be sure to set the .htaccess for the MP3
directory to not allow browsing and put it outside the Servers document
root.

Can't fathom what I just wrote? Hire someone to do this for you.
