Guess it could depend a little on the file format of the player used to play the audio. But using a Flash player puts into play the ability to use an xml file to build and maintain the playlist, not ever having to change any of the HTML or vars on the page holding the player.
So let's say you are using a Flash player which loads an xml playlist. Once set up, the client would have to upload the actual audio files (ftp or use ftp software like Smart FTP Client). Next, they would update the simple text xml file. Here's an example of what that would look like:

<playlist>

<song title="Ride" url="Ride.mp3" />
<song title="Playing In A Band" url="Playing_In_A_Band.mp3" />
<song title="Funny Floating Feeling" url="Funny_Floating_Feeling.mp3" />
<song title="Play Me Something" url="Play_Me_Something.mp3" />
</playlist>

The player will list the songs in a playlist for the viewer to choose from.
So the process is fairly simple. FTP the audio files into the correct folder.. update and then upload the xml playlist... DONE. This simple process could be done over and over, as new songs come up.
Of course your job is to find a Flash player that loads an xml file and then set up all the correct paths in the code. If you're not into creating your own in Flash, just Google for one.
