How to restrict thedownload of a file to a member

Hi,
i am planning to make a web site in asp dot net 2 using VB. the site is for downloading songs (mp3 file) for members.
the plan is as follows.
there will be 100 s of songs in a particular folder.
member needs to pay to download each song. if a member paid for 3 song, he can download only 3 (any) song.
i made teh forms authentication to the folder where i uploaded all songs.
but how can i make that the member download only the number of songs which he paid?

any suggestion..

thanks

Welcome to the site. You may wish to store the files in a database so that only the files they selected are returned. HTH.
