Inspiring way to make use of delicious. ;-) About the "notes", AFAIK,
del.iciou.us let users to add "notes" to the bookmark. In your case,
the first bookmark creator (should be the mp3 owner) can supply
his/her notes, and the following users' notes can be consider as
comments.

iTunes RSS Spec. [1] Any reason you need a microformat to announce the
new songs? RSS/ATOM syndication & aggregation has created an almost
complete ecosystem for announcement purpose.

Besides "announce to discover", is it possible to use Microformat Base
or Google Base to make submission and provide "search to discover"?

An example about the "discovery mechanism through uf's" ?
