No, but...

I haven't worked with Contribute before, but you might want to check if you
can "borrow" the play-button used at music.podshow.com (I have, but I didn't
ask first because it was for a private page behind a login only four people
have access to). You can download the SWF for it[1], then embed it with the
path to the MP3 file in the url:

<param name="movie" value="button.swf?theFile=/path/to/sound.mp3" />

But, since I haven't worked with Contribute, I don't know whether this is a
good solution in your case.

HTH,
Rick.
