Hi Tor, One problem we encountered with development was Firefox's HTML5 <audio> not supporting MP3, so we have to use a flash player as a fallback for FF. Hopefully we'll have a better solution for this in the future :) Edit: This page has more info about HTML5 <audio> support: http://html5doctor.com/native-audio-in-the-browser/

If you plan to go commercial while using MP3, don't forget the licensing requirements for streaming MP3 and encoding:

(not saying you need a license, just pointing out that you might need to check)
