We also provided an option for members to attach tracks to posts, thereby hosting it ourselves, but members find it cumbersome to upload and download tracks every time they want to listen to a song.

Then installing an mp3 player like the other guy suggested is your best bet... You'd then make a custom BB Code to call that "player" so you'd use [mp3]http://somedomain/files/yourmp3.mp3[/mp3] in a post and it would embed the player. Once you have the player installed if you give me the URL to the player I can help you make the BB Code if you want, but it's easy.
