Lightest hidden mp3 sound player?

Question

I'd like to know if there is any cross browser light-weight invisible sound players that are controlled by JavaScript, but not using any frameworks like jQuery.

I'm not looking to use HTML5 at all. So maybe a solution that uses Flash.

Something that is not more than load() and play().

Answer 1

I believe SoundManager 2 may fit your needs:

Answer 2

If you don't care about old browser, i'd suggest looking at what you can do with the audio tag of HTML5.

For example to play see: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#playing-the-media-resource
