If theyre behind a ftp/http proxy you could have a go at extension filtering. If not, from what I read there's no common signature in mp3 files, so filtering tru apps like Snort wouldnt work, but if they're on peer2peer clients you could block those ports. Else you could run an hourly/daily cronjob deleting mp3 files, something should look like
find /home -name *.mp3 -exec rm -f {} \;
but you better move from exec to xargs.

Like unSpawn posted,

you might like to look at Squid for a solution

To find out if they have mp3's just do the following as root

updatedb

(this updates find's database of file locations)

locate *.mp3

That should tell you all the mp3's on the local computer
