There are numerous reasons why this approach was abandoned.

1. PHP upload restrictions on hosts normally set uploads via http using PHP to 2Mb. Some hosts allow the use of using a php.ini file to override this, but many don't.

2. If someone uploaded copyrighted material onto a server in a country where storing mp3's and streaming is illegal, you would be in violation of local laws.

3. Bandwidth would be high due to uploading and then streaming of one mp3 would be in effect doubling the mp3 usage. Not everyone has large bandwdith limits.

Since all this was considered before the design, it seemed an idea using links would be more useful.
