three ways to do it

Simple: parse the log file
Medium: use a wrapper file which notify that someone requested a file
and then serve the file, this can destroy fast
forward/rewind/pause/resume features.
Complicated: Make the JavaScript to call a page and tell which file the
user is loading and if they do buffer or not.

If you use wrapper and the page terminates, then it's finished with the
download. If you use the javascript then make an ajax call and tell that
the song has finished to play.
