    that will get the latest edition of that MP3 automatically.
    Does the filename change for the latest edition of that MP3 file?

    When you upload the new "news.mp3" file, does it overwrite the existing file or does it make a new one. Also, are you looking for a server-side solution (such as PHP, ASP, etc)?

    Wouldn't it play the updated file anyways if it is retrieving the source from a file name?

    Example
    Code:
    ... src="http://MYSITE.COM/MP3/NEWS.MP3"
    Unless the file is stored seperately (a server cache?), it should automatically play the new file.

    That's what I was wondering as well.

    I think your users could probably use just about any normal downloading software like dap(download accelerator plus) or something like that to recieve the new mp3 file. if you do OVERWRITE the existing mp3 on your hosting server.
