You have two methods to upload .mp3 files. Firstly, you can attach one or several files to any article, as shown here. Or you may prefer to click on the 'Share a file' link in your user menu, and to upload directly.

But this requires at least to authenticate news readers. No problem, HTTP Basic Authentication is supposed to be easy to implement. According to the PHP documentation, you just have to look at two variables to get user name and password. Unfortunately, these two variables will always be empty if PHP runs on the CGI interface.
