The sooner you start writing that code, the sooner you will have it.

I wouldn't recommend it. My MP3's average out around 4MB each, and at that size database usage starts to mount up rapidly - which causes it to be slow to backup, slow to access, and so forth.

What I would do if store the MP3 file in a folder under a temporary name - a GUID is good - and store the location of the file and the original file name in my DB. That way, I don't tie up scarce resources like database connections while retrieving the files. Saving them also becomes a trivial operation - all you are storing is a couple of strings.
