Do you think you could reliably identify the ads by the servers the
mp3s are hosted on?

In that case, it'd be a lot better to have a server based app where
people could clean feeds of ads. You log in, register feed X as being
full of ads, and the site provides you feed Y which is X less the ads.
Like the opposite of what feedburner does if you opt in to ads :-)
