What is Flourish Player?
Flourish Player is an embeddable Flash (SWF) audio player for web sites. It uses the XSPF playlist format to load one or more files in MP3 or another audio format supported by the flash player.
Why another Flash audio player?
Although there are a whole lot of free flash audio players, some free as in beer, some free as in freedom, plus an even bigger amount of tutorials how to build one, these all share one common thing: They require the Adobe Flash IDE. Flourish Player, in contrast, can be built using a fully open source toolchain consisting of Inkscape for graphics, swfmill to create the SWF files and MTASC to compile the ActionScript sourcecode.
Of course, Flourish Player itself is free and open source. It is licensed under the liberal (3-clause) BSD license, so you can use it in pretty much every way you can imagine — including but not limited to using it on commercial web sites.
Flourish Player is also quite customizable, more information is available in the Documentation Section.
