How to make it easy for user to upload images, mp3s to a blog project site?

Good, free solutions for implementing super-easy userland image- and mp3-upload capability into a Wordpress-based blog project?
I'm kicking around an idea for a participatory bloggish thing, and part of it involves letting users/participants upload images and mp3 files in as painless a fashion as possible. I'm pretty conversant in WP, basic PHP, and author-driven bloggery, but letting other folks push stuff onto a site easily is not familiar territory.
Are there any particularly good solutions for allowing reasonably secure uploads? Is this stupid easy? Hope me; I am a babe in the woods, here.

Another suggestion (which you've probably already seen) is to use this plugin: http://redalt.com/Resources/Plugins/Role+Manager - I confess I haven't used it myself though.
Most discussions only talk about images, not mp3s though.
Another thing to consider is keeping it secure enough so you don't get a whole bunch of spam being posted. Registration may be a pain - but you have more control over banning spammers or whackos.
