I have been reading the discussion on a new microformat for music
downloads here
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-new/2007-March/000028.html
this is what encouraged me to join this discussion.
I have tried to implement this method using existing microformats by
using a combination of hAtom and hReview.
>From one static web page, we can get a Atom 1.0 feed via
tools.microformatic.com  and then taking the resulting feed and
transforming it into a podcast via Feedburner.
an example of the markup I used is
here :http://weborganics.co.uk/files/podtest.html.
A working live example can be viewed here.

To answer Marian's question do we need a "Microformat for Music
Downloads" I would say no there are enough existing Microformats to do
the job. I might suggest that we add extra properties to the hReview
Microformat to include, artist, and object.

I hope this is of some help

Kind Regards
