I don't agree with the "Remove all flash from your website suggestion". If you look at Pandora, Lala.com, Amazon, YouTube. They all use swf format as an easy way to deliver the music and video.

It's not without drawbacks however, but you will have a good idea of what the users experience will be when they recieve the media. It is probably not a bad idea to have multiple ways of viewing the media IMHO. With the user having the option to get the file itself alongside the sandbox be it Flash, Java , etc.

I don't think the Iphone supports flash right now though.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to Flash as navigation. Leaving Flash in to play songs makes perfect sense, but having those ridiculous all-flash front pages and navigation "flash app" is retarded and should rightly be abolished.
