How do I post audio/music to my blog?

If you’re looking  how to add music to your blog, there are a few different ways to do so.

Before we get started, be careful when placing music on your blog. Be
sure that visitors can turn it off.

Mirpod offers a mini mp3 flash player that you can use
on your blog.

myBlogTunes allows bloggers to create online “radio
stations” and post them on their own blog via the myBlogTunes player.

Blogamp is a web audio player component for bloggers that can be embedded, posted, or launched in a pop-up window.

Stickam – allows you to place streaming video, and music on your blog.

Audioblog.com – is a Podcast, audioblog and videoblog creation tool.

Embedding music

If you want to embed the music into your blog then this is how to do
it. Add the following code somewhere  in your template. I recommend your sidebar or footer.

<embed src=”MP3 Location”
width=”140″ height=”40″ autostart=”false” loop=”FALSE”>
</embed>

In Blogger

1. Sign into Blogger. Click the design link
2. Create a new widget by clicking “Add a gadget.”
3. Choose the “HTML/Javascript” widget.
4. Enter the HTML code provided above into the content window and click “Save Changes.”

You can adjust the size attributes as well as whether or not the song has an autostart,  or loop.  I don’t recommend the music start on auto-start.

loop: set to “true”  if you want the song to play over and over, or “false” so that it plays only once.

You will need to upload the audio file to a free file storage site. I recommend archive.org. Please make sure you have appropriate permission before adding music to your blog.

That wasn’t so hard now, was it?
