What is the defacto standard for an audio player in a web page?

Question

I need to embed some audio in a corporate web site.

The user is aware they will be getting the audio, and will be looking for it.

I found several flash players, but nothing seemed to simply let me embed audio on the page with a play button without jumping through several hoops and creating playlists.

Answer 1

Isn't the default media player component in Flash enough? You just drop in the scene and set it's source to the audio file you want to play. By default it doesn't hide the controls so ppl can press the play button.
