How to embed an MP3 on your blog

2 steps:

First you need to have your mp3 hosted somewhere on the web (skip this step if the file is already hosted somewhere)

Go Here

Upload your mp3

Note / copy the web address of the newly hosted file


Step 2 :

copy this code :


<embed src= "http://www.odeo.com/flash/audio_player_standard_gray.swf" quality="high" width="300" height="52" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars= "valid_sample_rate=true&external_url=[MP3 file address]" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

You just have to replace [MP3 file address] with the actual address.

(replace the [MP3 file address] with the actual web address of where the mp3 is hosted - you must use the HOTLINK web address provided there...)

Step 3 :

Go to the 'edit html' part of your blog composition page, and simply paste the embed code above somewhere in there.

This is what you should end up with....
