people who don't want to people to download etc should probably just
use the xspf playbuttons.
i also am thinking that this should modify the link itself with an
onclick so that clicking the link is the same as hitting play.

From a usability point of view I'm not totally convinced that it
really makes sense to offer a playtag link AND a direct url link the

I had the exact same reaction... the playtagger is sweet but
adoption could be hampered my a minor usability issue.
One possible solution would be the have the play button and song
name text link perform the same function of playing inline. Then,
have a smaller link next to that for "download" which serves as the
direct url link.
Also, the direct url link could be optional and toggled via
JavaScript variables for those who are inclined to make it a little
more difficult for people to download their audio.
Lastly, I'm wondering if it could be extended so that only mp3
links with a rel attribute of "playtagger" would be formatted so
that you can choose a la carte which mp3 links on a page are
formatted instead of the current all or nothing model.
I think it'd be a matter of adding to this line..
if(o.href.match(/\.mp3$/i))
...to something like ...
if(o.href.match(/\.mp3$/i) && o.rel == "playtagger")
... but I'm no JS whiz so this could be all wrong.
Come to think of it, the rel atttribute could also be used to
toggle the direct url link which would be easier than using
JavaScript variables since the include file markup wouldn't need to
be extended.
Not sure if all that was clear... could mock something up if
necessary.
