you should not use the links that are server specific like the one you had in your message. files are often shuffled between different machines so your link will fail.

generally item urls should start with:
http://www.archive.org/details/[identifier]

so your links would look like:
http://www.archive.org/details/AGGEpisode7/AggEpisode7Mastered.mp3
and
http://www.archive.org/details/AGGEpisode7

If you have 50 items you can ask for a collection. It is best to have many items as the metadata is at the item level, not file level. This helps with not only search but allowing items to have unique metadata.
