No.

The server *cannot* know when the file is being *played*. The server's knowledge is
limited to:
- the browser requests the mp3 file
- the server begins transmitting the file
- eventually, the transmission finishes
The server has no way to know what the browser does with the file during or after the
transmission. The browser may play the file, save it, import it into something else, or discard
it completely, and the server cannot tell the difference. All the server knows is "somebody
asked me to send a file, I'm sending it... I'm done sending it."
