Use DRM (it sucks). There is no way to protect it. A person could always record it while it is playing.

Various record labels and film makers have been trying to tackle that very problem for years with little to know success.

Ther's no way to protect it, ultimately. Like Beer Hunter said, if I can hear it through a computer in real time, I can copy it. It's slower, of course, but once I've got it, I can digitally replicate it very easily. Most people copy stuff that's easy to copy--if they hit even a small roadblock, they'll stop. It just takes a few people in this modern age to be determined, and that's it, though. My advice to you is to not worry too much about it.
The movie "Avatar" has been illegally copied or downloaded about 16 million times (!!!). Why? Because people can, that's why. The movie and it's creators, though, still made a king's ransom. Why? Because a hundred times that number paid to see it or buy it (like me). It's the same with music, your music, on a smaller scale. I personally don't take (steal, if you will) music--I believe artists deserve the money. Am I the exception? Insofar as I care to actually pay for the music, no. Most people actually pay up. There is a sizable minority who will not pay (if it's easy), and a tinier minority who will go out of their way to take it just 'cause they can. At this point there is nothing you can do about that, and I doubt if you ever will be able to.
