I'd love to have an mp3 mod. I use the free player from www.longtailvideo.com on my site. My vision would be to have a tag like [mp3]www.whatever.com/song.mp3[/mp3] and have my player automatically be embeded in the post able to play the file.
I'll try to do it but in the meantime if anyone else more skilled could figure it out I'd really appreciate it!

Carefree, yes, thank you. I have that mod on my forum and it works great. However, what I am wanting is a new tag: [mp3][/mp3] that would allow a user to place a url to an mp3 file in the middle of the tag and have it play in the jwplayer from longtailvideo.com.
An example of their code is:
Or
I'm not sure which version of the code would work best with Snitz and I'm also not sure how to make the above links know how to recognize what a user would put in the mp3 tags.
An example of their code is:
Code:
<script type='text/javascript' src='/embed/swfobject.js'></script>
<div id='mediaspace'>This div will be replaced</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new SWFObject('/jw/upload/player.swf','ply','470','300','9','#ffffff');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('wmode','opaque');
s1.addParam('flashvars','file=http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.mp3');
s1.write('mediaspace');
</script>Code:
<embed
src="/jw/upload/player.swf"
width="470"
height="300"
bgcolor="#ffffff"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.mp3"
/>

I was searching the net and came across exactly what I want but the instructions are for a different type of forum software. Maybe this will provide a clue: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=607524

More searching... 
I just came across this forum and they have exactly what I want! (but with a different player)
I emailed them to see if they'll send me their code.

I have a custom embed for wmv, but as it uses media player embedding it should work fine for mp3, too. It is a bit complicated though as i wanted the embedded object NOT to be available for users not logged in plus i did it with an iframe that fetches the content from another domain (my backend). As i use my own backend server as a streaming media server i have made the tag so it reads only the filename and puts it after the domain/path of my backend. Sounds odd but that way you ensure users only embed content uploaded to your own backend and can't embed from phishy 3rd party sites or so. Plus you get all the media files yourself. If you want a demo just log in to hiddenbelow.com and look at the cinema (We stream public domain movies for members there). If you like it i could go through the pain of writing a mod instruction sheet for this, but it is a tad more complicated then some otehr solutions.
I'm currently not using the jwplayer, but that is not a big deal.
