A few concepts:
- MP3 is a standard file format that can be played on any web browser.
- a file name that end with .mp3 does not imply that the file is mp3 file format, it is just convenient name to indicate you what is supposed to be the file.
- An encrypted mp3 file is not mp3 anymore, it is ... an encrypted file. you need to decrypt it in order to play it.
- Playing the encrypted mp3 file on client imply decrypting the file.
- to play the mp3 on client side, you need to provide a way to decrypt the file, or a special player that do the trick.

- Playing an mp3 on client side imply download.
