To match the Rough Trade audio player, we’ve just launched one for the 4ad site. It’s currently got 3 of the best tracks released this year on it, all available as MP3s and all well worth listening to:

Huffduffer
Using the service is pretty straightforward. First of all, you have to sign up. No, I haven’t implemented OpenID support. Sorry. I hope to get around to it at some stage.
Secondly, you find MP3 files out there on the web. Using either a bookmarklet, or a form on the site itself, you “huffduff” the file: give it a title, description, and tags.
That’s pretty much it. People can subscribe to your podcast and you can subscribe to other people’s podcasts. You can also subscribe to a podcast of files with a certain tag or a combination of files from a particular person with a particular tag. Basically, if there’s a page for it on the site, there’s probably a corresponding podcast you can subscribe to.
Very nice way of automatically creating a podcast feed out of MP3s you find on the web – think Delicious but just for audio. Perfect for micro-mp3 blogging – I think I’ll integrate my Huffduffer feed into this main blog feed when I get a chance…
