Embedding Audio
Steve was having a hard time posting an mp3 file to his new blog site. Here is an example of an mp3 embedded with a flash player in a post.
First step is to make sure you have activated the audio player plug-in on your dashboard.
In the Audio Player Options (this tab will only appear after you have activated the plug-in above), I suggest that you choose the third option as shown below. This will replace all links to mp3 files with the flash audio player. Make sure you save your changes.
Now you are ready to embed an mp3 file into a post. In the Write Post editor, Browse to find the mp3 file on your computer and then upload the file.
Browse to the uploaded file and then click on the file link to select it.
To link the mp3 file in your post, choose the “Send to editor” in the drop-down menu of choices.
If you go back to the audio player options, you can play around with the color combination for your embedded players to your hearts content. If you have problems with this, then I failed miserably at this attempt at instruction. Good luck!

Barry, Thanks. It looks simple when you put it that way. I sure will give it a try! steve

Hi. I want to have a looped mp3 play continuously across web pages, and not cut off when exiting one page and entering another. I also would like to have a control on several pages that will be able to turn the file on and off. Can this be done just with HTML, and does it necessitate using frames? Separately, is it possible to configure it so that when someone turns it off and then on again, it will pick up where it was “paused”?
Much obliged!
