I think you need the path to the resource and not it's content:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="170"
data="xspf_player.swf?track_url=[[~[[*id]]]]">
<param name="movie"
value="xspf_player.swf?track_url=[[~[[*id]]]]" />
</object>

With a static resource like that, you need to create a Custom Content type (in the System menu), with Binary set to Yes, then in the static resource's Settings tab choose that Content type. Whether it should be inline or attachment for the Content Disposition, I'm not sure in your case. When I have .pdf files for download, for example, I use attachment to insure the proper treatment of the file by the browser. Might need a bit of trial-and-error to get everything set properly.

Do you have a base tag in your template?

<base href="[[++site_url]]" />

You need to change the resource content type to mp3 (in the settings tab), and for the path try:

value="xspf_player.swf?track_url=[[++site_url]][[~[[*id]]]]" />
