I'm afraid you cannot do that. The closest you can get is to stop them copying and pasting the URL to a downloading client or linking from their own site - which seems to be what you're trying to do there.

Someone right-clicking and selecting Save Link As... is seen by your server identically as someone left-clicking and the music playing.

The only real way to secure your MP3 is to use a Flash player or similar which will obscure the URL entirely.
