If it's his music, he can do whatever he wants with it. And if it's licensed under Creative Commons, it means you can also share it with who ever you like, as long as you don't sell it (there is a couple Creative Commons licenses that allows you to sell it, but those are rare).

It's basically like any property - the owner can do what he wants with it. It's probably a low bit-rate version of the song, just good enough to let you know how good the real version sounds.
