Cpanel provides the option to password-protect directories, but this
prevents actual links from opening on my site without a password.

I merely want to prevent visitors from navigating to certain folders
and downloading the contents, such as images or audio files.

Any idea how I can do this?

Use Cpanel to 'lock' the directories, not password protect them.
"Index Manager" I think it's called.

BTW, this way visitors can still download files they know the url to
(like an image that's in a page of yours), but they can't just see the
entire contents of the folder.
