How do i prevent hotlinking from other site for my mp3 and jpg file?
My url for download mp3 end as http://www.domain.com/music/cat_one/band_name/file_mp3_name.mp3?l=12

Answer 1

You could encapsulate your links to your mp3 and jpg files inside javscript functions. In this way, you do not have a link in html, but a user action (liking clicking on some element) will trigger a javascript which in turn loads the mp3 or jpg via i.e. ajax.
This will stop most hotlinking because the other website would have to emulate a user (which is not impossible, but most often probably not worth the effort).
