Not possible. If they can listen, they can download. That's how the data reaches them in the first place ;)

You could make it trickier to store for them by using a streaming audio server but it's still possible to download.

DRM stands for wot?
and 2ndly there must be some solution for protecting files. i go throw lot of stuff daily where i see that users cannot download the files but they can see or listen it.

Digital rights management, I believe.

What Napster 2.0 does.
