There are several options for that:

1) you can give a direct link
2) you can copy the needed file for download to a temporary directory through php programming and rename it as you need. then delete it using cron jobs
3) you can use header('location:myfile.mp3');
4) you can use this code for more security and reliability:

header("Content-type: application/download");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"yourfile.mp3\"");

$fout = fopen(_VAR."pdf/newfilename.pdf", "r");

while ($buf = fread($fout, 4192)){
 echo $buf;
}
fclose($fout);

There may be several other ways or a combination of those I have listed.

Pratamishus
