How to set up mp3 download feature

Hi
I run an online radio station playing rare sixties psychedelia. I'm planning to set up a related, commercial site offering mp3 downloads. I've sorted out the licensing side of things, so it will be a legitimate, legal site. What I'm looking for now is advice on the software I would need to create a website that could offer mp3 downloads, and accept payments. I'm also looking for a suitable - hopefully inexpensive - hosting platform.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Rob

Setting up payments would probaly be the most difficult challenge. Look into getting a merchant account and a login system. You would need an easy way for people to purchase songs. So you will have to have a secure way that people can store their credit card info along with their login, so that they can just purchase the song right when the listen. You will also need a way to prevent people from downloading the song for free through backdoors. Maybe flash would be a good option to preview songs. Just the tip of the iceberg here. Good luck!
