I don't disagree with your suggestion of using a notary; it's a good one.  My only point was that you initially said something like, "Oh boy, here we go again with that Internet legend about mailing a song to yourself," and I was pointing out that if it is indeed a legend, then its roots are not necessarily from the Internet.  I received this advice several years ago, long before the Internet was intertwined in our daily lives.
