Hi:
I don't think this would be possible on AOL Hometown for two reasons. First of all, you only have 12MB of webspace, which would probably only store about three or four songs at maximum. The other reason is that in order to create an uploading tool, you need to use a server-side language (such as PHP, ASP.net, Perl, etc.) that can "take" the file your user is sending to your website. It's simple to put a file browser in a form on your page (<input type="file" id="file" />), but telling your web server to store the file requires that you have access to your server in a way that AOL Hometown doesn't allow.
If you were to try it on a professional web server where you had enough webspace (you'd need a good web host and probably your own domain), you could use file input code to access the file, a server-side language to post the file onto your web server when the user submits the song submission form, and Flash to list all of your files and play them back.
Hope this answers your question!
