strategy for putting music samples online

I'm developing a website for a musician friend. He has released 6 CDs,
and we want to put some samples up for people to listen to..  As far as
I can tell there are probably about 49 ways to do this, and I'm trying
to figure out the best strategy..

right now I'm trying to choose between an embedded player, or just
making the mp3 samples downloadable, to be then played on the default
player in the person's computer..

the embedded player would be more elegant, easier and faster, becuase
they could just click and it would start to play, without waiting for
download time, but then I'd need at least two, right..  one for PC
people and one for MAC people..

just putting up the mp3 samples to be downloaded would be less fuss,
but it would mean folks had to wait for the download, before they could
play the song...

I'm wondering if there is a good summary of thoughts on this subject on
line that you might point me to, and/or if I've missed any important
considerations..
