Well, what may not be news to you is that anything that is played over the
computer's speakers can be captured and saved, regardless of whether or not
the files reside on the drive.

That being said, AFAIK you can't get good playback control without using a
player object that references external audio files.  Combine this with the
previous comment that any audio delivered with the stack will be loaded into
memory, potentially eating up a lot of space (are the songs full length, 3
to 5 minutes each?).

If you deliver the songs with the stack, you might write them out to the
temp directory before playing and then delete when done.

Or, instead of including audio in the stack and and writing out to the
drive, you might consider storing the audio on the Web and accessing the
files with a player object via URLs (makes for a smaller stack).  Again, not
a foolproof system for copy protection but a little less accessible than
placing on the drive.

Trevor Devore or Klaus Major might know some more tricks here.
