The problem with embedded players is that it makes the site ultra complicated. If the idea of the site is to showcase some talent then consider having the mp3 file short to showcase the best stuff and make people want more.
Yep, first and foremost I think you need a link to a short mp3 that people can click on and open. Embedded players aren't for everyone.
Optionally include an embedded player too - i posted to a link to an open source one in your other thread as it's very good, I've used it here

Dobbo many thanks for your help. I've used the embedded player you sent me which is great (apart from the download option).
I'm going to suggest that my Client shortens her MP3's down to 30second previews.

Why not play the samples at 32 or 64k, good enough to hear what it is, but not high enough quality for cd/ipod ripping?
Another good idea. I'll suggest both options to my Client.
Again, that's what I've done. The samples on the site above are short, and low quality. Avoids people nicking it, but lets them hear what they want.
The cool thing about the xspf player is it can be slimline or full size, so you can sneak it down in a corner if need be.
