Hi Hillel,
It's not a light weight product, but IR+ offers features where researchers can have a web based workspace and share files with each other and track versions. The open source project is located here:
http://code.google.com/p/irplus/
We do have researchers uploading mp3 files. You can see an example of one who has made some of their music files public here:
https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewResearcherPage.action?researcherId=70
We hope to have another release of IR+ out sometime late summer early fall. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Digital object distribution
A colleague of mine is looking for a simple and lightweight way to make digital assets available to researchers. What they'd like to have ideally is a system that provides online access to specified files for a specified user via a login. A user would only see the files that have been assigned to them and not any other users' files. In addition, they'd like to have some sort of a UI that would display basic descriptive information about the object.
Does anyone have any ideas for a solution to this? It seems like there *should* be an easy and obvious answer, but I'm coming up blank...
Thanks,
Hillel Arnold
