coldfusion flash integration : Serving 'non-traceable' mp3s

Ok (I know this is a cfcontent question - but I'm hoping someone has done this
in flash and can help),
I've been trying to use FLASH as an mp3 player (to help over come illigal
downloads/saving) but my issue arrises in that (a) I need to pass the path of
the file to the player and a 'view source' will allow any savy user to browse
to the file.

I've had luck serving the mp3 from a cfm template using cfcontent...(meaning a
browse to the cfm template and passing an ID - the browser launches my mp3
player - just as if i wee a direct link to the mp3.)

BUT - when I try to get FLASH to access the sme emplat to serve up the file -
I get nothing...So THIS IS A CFCONTENT question - I need to know what content
type and encoding to use...The Flash guys I've talked to say it should work,
but that the CF page is encoding wrong.

Any one done this type of thing?? Really need a solution.

My thought was that a user could click on a flash movie and hear the mp3 - the
flash movie would actually be passing an ID (to identify the mp3 on the server)
and a UUID (or secret KEY) so that a user couldn't browse to a file and
download (cause they wouldn't know the UUID).

thanks
