"Scan Barcode to download MP3" - Can this be done?

Hi all! I didn't know where to put this question... but it is Mobile related so here goes.

I'm designing a poster for a friend's band. He has his heart set on a QR barcode, which somehow download a free MP3 track to the users mobile phone.

Initially, my thoughts were to create a simple QR link to 'http://www.blablabla.co.uk/blablabla.mp3" ... but really, I want the file to be stored on somewhere like Bandcamp, or Soundcloud so that it all looks nice and legit. It would seem that Bandcamp and Soundcloud don't really support mobile downloads in this way though, and I can't coax a direct link to the MP3 out of them either.

Has anyone done this before or have any possible solutions to this? I'm starting to think it might be easier to generate an e-mail link to the download when the QR code is accessed... but that doesn't solve the problem that the client wants it 'mobile'.

Thanks in advance!
