how flashy is comunication death?

a good friend of mine is also a very active musician and composer. he also has his own record label where he releases his own as well as other creative musicians music. and of course he has his own web site. the only problem is that some months ago he was talked into switching to a much more elegant design by way of macromedia flash. today he sent me an email saying that he could not show me his latest mp3 because his f**** web site does not allow him to upload music himself. he has to get hold of the designer first and he is off studying in scotland or somewhere. this sucks. the web is fantastic beacause of 2 things. first, it is available anywhere whenever you are anywhere. second, because it enables every body to be a publisher and not least because the reader, listener, user can talk back. now, because of this elegant tool, this very creative and active artist can no longer communicate in real time with his fans. if he had had a simple html site he would not have this problem. anyone for a solution (that does not demand of him to go off somewhere to become a macromedia engineer)?
