  For this to be possible one major change would be necessary

    The user you were running the server as would need *write*
    access to the archive.

  The just strikes me as being bad on too many levels.  If you were
 willing to risk it the code would be very simple though, you'd only
 need to copy the 'info.pm' plugin and change it to do "rm" instead
 of looking up information on the given file.

  As you suggest adding links in the theme file(s) would be required
 to give an interface to it - but that is fiarly simple if you were
 to add links to the configuration file instead.

  I'm not sure how useful it would be, but I'd be interesting in hearing
 thoughts.

  I suspect more people would care about being able to *upload* songs
 than about deleting existing ones - although I guess the ideal would
 be to do both.  (Along with renaming, etc).
