Does anybody know of a way to automatically listen to all the linked mp3s on a web page? [MI]

I frequent a couple of great mp3 blogs (3hive, for instance) and have been searching for a way to automatically listen to all the tracks without having to click each link in turn. I'm not looking to download the tracks (I can do that with wget), just listen to them one at a time. A Firefox plugin? OS X App? I could write a shell script, but I'm at work and lazy.

There's a Firefox plugin that I find useful for pages with a lot of media content. It's called Download Them All. It rawks.

Webjay good. Download Them All bad.

at 5:30 AM this is the entirety of my commentary as an interested party on something like this.

You could also use one of the bookmarklets on Playr's front page to do this easily.
