This Is Probably Impossible, But....

I would like to know if it is possible to do something to a hyperlink so it only works once. The reason I am asking is because I am trying to organise a sort of online "Name that Tune" competition, ie. people click the link, and the piece to be recognised is played for 20 seconds. Obviously, just like on the live show, people should only be able to listen to the sound clip once, rather than keep clicking to hear the sound clip again and again. Is there a way to achieve that?

A Further Question About Favicons

A while ago I learned how to put a favicon in my address bar, thanks to the well-appreciated expertise of people on this forum, and now I would like to take things a step further (if that is possible).
