Media player suggestions

    I'm looking for some media player suggestions. I'm currently working on a site that is using quicktime to play multiple mp3's (I don't want to use playlists at this stage) and I'm now beginning to wonder if there is a better option - one that doesn't require anything to be installed on the user's machine.

    I've had a look at flash players like Dewplayer. But I'm willing to consider anything that is scalable in terms of height (smaller the better) and width and is also fairly discrete.

    Any thoughts?

    If you want to ensure it will work across all browsers, you're going to need to use a flash player in reality (or at least something that requires a plugin installed) until html 5 capable browsers are widely used.

    I'd suggest jw player it's a flash player with lots of features.

    Thanks for the suggestion. While it's a great suggestion (possibly one for the future), I'm looking for something that can be used freely for commercial purposes. In this case, it's for a band website and money is tight!
