What potential issues can arise when using PHP to control access to music files on a website?

One potential issue that can arise when using PHP to control access to music files on a website is that users may be able to directly access the files by guessing the URL or through unauthorized means. To solve this, you can use PHP to check if the user is authenticated before allowing access to the music files. 

<?php
session_start();

// Check if the user is authenticated
if(!isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
    header("Location: login.php"); // Redirect to login page if not authenticated
    exit();
}

// Code to serve music files here
?>
