Are there any audio-only versions of youtube out there?
Cheers!

ceigered:Are there any audio-only versions of youtube out there?It would be usefull if there are. I, also. would like to know if there are.
Maybe you know this already, but Ipernity.com http://www.ipernity.com/home seems to be usable like an audio youtube. Users have audio files in their "gallery" that can be played without downloading, for example in Lernu-user Qwerty's Ipernity page http://www.ipernity.com/doc/57354/9070741.
Also, Ipernity user pages have "playlists" with music, but I suspect you could place any audio file there in order to make it available for others to play. As an example, here is Qwerty's page with playlist on the right side: http://www.ipernity.com/home/57354
I don't know anything about the details or technically how to do it. I only visit people's pages, often only to play music for my own enjoyment.
And of course Ipernity is available in Esperanto.
Other advantages of Ipernity over youtube are that ipernity loads fast, changes selections fast, doesn't use much bandwith,(important for people with bandwith limits, DSL or Dial-up internet connections, and people in less developed nations or locations), and doesn't use much computer resources (for example, it doesn't slow down other tasks on a computer, and can be used effectively even with an older computer or less powerful computer-like devices like cell phones).
Of course part of the above advantages are due to simply playing a (smaller, simpler) audio file instead of playing a (larger, more complex) video file.
(I need to make an account for myself there.)
Hopefully this will help you until someone else suggests something better.

I guess there's no market for an audio-only youtube when most home-made audio is either very specialised, part of a podcast or music!

Yes, like mentioned before by AnFu: The upload of mp3s is part of the free Ipernity account facilities and can be accessed later by the user's account "gallery"-feature. The free Ipernity account has a 200 MB upload limit per month.
To login to Ipernity Mobile it could be recommended to login via slim:
https://www.ipernity.com/sso/mobile/email (encrypted transfer of login data will be enforced by ipernity)
and not via blown-up http://www.ipernity.com start page which seems to be intented for Desktop computers. The start page includes a big picture (of the day) which could slow down data transfer.
