    I have a blog where people can download some DJ mixes I have made.

    I've seen a cool little thing on other people's blogs, which just has a little "Play Icon" and when you click it, its starts streaming. Here is an example (very funny and worth a listen btw)

    Anyone know how I can get something like this for my wordpress blog?

    That just a flash player that playing FLA files i believe. Just convert your MP3s to this and you should be able to embed the link into the HTML code and the player will stream it.*

    * Its not true streaming

    open notepad

    enter a relative path for the mp3

    save as blahblahblah.m3u (type:all files)

    use an embed tag - you can set parameters like looping autostart size initial volume etc...

    That plugin/extension for Wordpress is called Podpress. I use it to serve up a hip-hop podcast from chopshop.fm. Example can be seen here (that's a great soul-jazz-funk mix btw :)).

    podpress is good.
    Wordpress 2.5 can also natively play media files.
