Finally, after three nights of working on it, and stealing some company time today as well, I managed to put up the 80's music on the sidebar.
Thanks and credit goes to Hansac, in the end I used his technique of using Radio Blog to do it. It took me a while to find an online storage site that is willing to host rbs files and also allow direct file links (three cheers for www.hotlinkfiles.com!)
For a start, I have put up the golden classic of our Form 2 year, We Are The World by USA for Africa. I need to convert every mp3 to rbs and upload to hotlinkfiles, a process that takes 20 minutes for each file.
So, any requests from anyone on what they want to hear? I have on my hard disk more than 1000 songs from the 80's :)
Note on how to use the player - press play, then once the track starts to pre-load, press the pause button to stop the music and wait for the full track to load (you can see the progress by the grey bar over the song title). This way, you will be able to enjoy the song without any interruptions due to slow internet speed.
Speaking of speed, please note each song is about 3 to 4 MB, so it may take a while to load. If you all prefer smaller size file with lower quality, do let me know so that I can adjust it.
If anyone wants the actual mp3's please drop me a mail.

Have downloaded a pileful of 80s songs from www.limewire.com, try it out, totally free.
As mentioned, all credit goes to Hansac, without his blog I would still be rummaging around the Net trying to find the best solution. Thanks, Hansac!
