Any suggestions on a free shopping cart script written in PHP to use on a site selling only 10 items? Or would it be best for me to write my own?

Paypal has a half-decent shopping cart solution if you don't mind your shopping cart being off-site. For 10 items, installing a shopping cart script probably isn't worth the time unless it's absolutely necessary to streamline the shopping cart within your site.

The client I have for a website just wants a simple 3 page site, one with songs for purchase. I'll look into paypal, but they have a real hard on for having the items listed on the site so I hope paypal does that, which I don't think it does.
The items will of course be listed on the site, paypal doesn't give you a store, but rather they give you an 'add to cart' button and 'buy now' button that you can stick onto the listing on the existing website.
Thanks for your response. Paypal has a lot of documentation and I eventually figured the link system out. I am still going to go with the jcart, it uses AJAX which most of my clients love, makes them feel hip I think.
If you are using wordpress:

I use it on a small site and it's pretty good.

Thanks a bunch, I'll put that in my plugin list for sites. This one isn't in WordPress though, it's old school html files
I don't sell a ton of items and I still use OSCommerce. Granted, I have modified the front end and basically used OSCommerce only for processing the orders. Still, there are a lot of coders out there for it, so I stick by it because it is easy to maintain.
