accessing samples of MP3s

Hi - I was hoping to find (in the yahoo music api or elsewhere) a way to access sample mp3 urls that I could utilize in a flash project of mine. Is there a way to access the MP3s that play on yahoo's artist pages, or some way to integrate the rhapsody player but with my own skin, or even somewhere else on the web I can crawl for mp3s of any given artist? I've been using YQL to obtain usable XML for each artist.
