because the Flash player on Linux just plain sucks.

I get half-movies, movies whose controls don't work, movies with no
sound, ...

The Linux Flash player lags SIGNIFICANTLY behind the Flash designer
output featureset -- to the point where Flash for Linux is a joke, as
far as I'm concerned.

PS I also have about 2,000 audio files available at:
http://uncommonground.com
for anybody who is into acoustic music.

You may need to listen to the playlist twice for technical reasons way
too complex to go into here...

Short version:
Webhost: 500 Meg
Reality: 150,000 Meg
Webcache, cable-modem up backend, dog-slow first play, zippy second play.

PHP rocks. :-)

PPS
I've got to get the back end audio archive on the T1 at the coffehouse
some time RSN.
