Ah, my bad for not having thouroughly read the FAQ on code section. I mostly use mobile to connect to the internet so any fancy feature flash offers is like an alien to me -- excuse my flaw. Starting from now on I'll pass the word to the other forums that wp.com accepts flash through 3rd party service. Thanks to all of you :)

a) Myflashfetish / mixpod: audio players in various shapes and sizes; in contrast to the wp audio player, work in the sidebar; autoplay also possible.

b) Skepticism reasonable - I was more "adventurous" (nice word for fool)! Let's hope someone from staff will drop by and tell us if those sites are safe.

Like 1tess I was loathe to provide my wordpress.com sign on information.

I've never heard of that audio player either. Do tell us more about it.

In order to get the code (found by looking at the site baba gave), they want your wordpress user name and password. I'd easily give them my blog URL which they also ask for. But I was reluctant to give them my private information (user name / password) to a site I know nothing about.

Am I too skeptical or paranoid? would this be ok? (not that I want that clock, just theoretically.)

I have never heard of "Myflashfetish audio players." ?

Anyway, I have removed the code now, until some definitive statement is made on whether it is permitted or not.

It automatically creates a post in your blog, you get the code from there and paste it in a text widget (I've done that with Myflashfetish audio players).

WP has always been using java, flash etc. from "trusted partners", as the FAQ on code says. Maybe giya is one of those "trusted partners".

appears to me that the gigya thing uses some sort of shortcode applicable at wp.com i.e. contact-form, youtube, archives so you can embed it upon your sidebar using text widget.
