No. I tried this and it failed to work. It acted as though it was
not a media file. Hmm. Maybe another player would work with
these files, such as xmms or itunes.

./mplayer http://asm.stanford.edu/transfer/04%20-%20Unknown%20Artist%20-%20Track%204.aac

I looked at it and saw lots of javascript. So you will need to use
a different browser or figure out how to get lynx to work despite
the javascript.
