Waba would work but only for Java applets that were coded to the Waba
subset. (you also need the WabaTester helper app for Newt's Cape; along
with WabaVM and class libraries installed); it would then handle APPLET tags
like (e.g., from my PFB example):
<APPLET NAME="Pico Fermi Bagels" WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="160"
CODE="waba/applet/Applet.class" ARCHIVE="PFB.jar,wextra.jar,waba.jar"
classHeapSize="22000">
<PARAM NAME="appClass" VALUE="PFB">
</APPLET>
though for the Newton, it's probably easier to just create a .pkg file
(using Warp/Exegen desktop tools) and let users download that.

Newt's Cape's ModSaver plugin will let you download and then play or save a
.mod file. (and various other sound formats (.au, .wav, etc.) via AudInbox
plugin and SimpleMail's audio stationary). I think the MP3 player handles
its own downloads.

generally, it's a small amount of code to set up another app as a Newt's
Cape 'helperApp' to accept a MIME type. current ones:
