The least-frustration way is probably just to sign up here:

So I went to the supplied url and "signed up."  Then I opened up a YouTube
listing for Ray Price, and it came up and played in Flash.  How would I
actually _use_ the youtube flash player?  (I really have no complaint with
Flash; I'm not one of the Linux fanatics who refuse to use anything
"commercial," but I thought I'd give it a try.)
