How to add audio to your blog
By Rose DesRochers
The question I hear over and over is how do I add music to my blog.
How to insert audio clips into your post
Click on edit html in your blog post and copy and paste the following code into your post where you want the audio file to play.
<embed src=”Url_of_Your_Audio_File” autostart=false loop=false height=62 width=144 controls=”console”></embed>
Replace Url_of_Your_Audio_File with the path to the audio file. Click on publish post. Please note that visitors using Firefox may be prompt to download the Apple Media Plugin in order to listen to your audio file.
You will need to upload the audio file to a free file storage site. You can host your music files at archive.org .
How to insert audio into your sidebar
Log into your Blogger account and go to "Dashboard." Select Layout.
Click on "Add a Page Element." Select "HTML/JavaScript." Click on add
to blog. Copy the code given to you in the above instructions for adding audio to a post. Paste it into the "HTML/JavaScript" box. Click "Save
Changes" to keep the changes and apply them to your blog.
If you have the autostart attribute set to "false", which I strongly recommend the file will not start playing when your blog loads and your visitor will have to start the song. If you want to play it automatically when the page loads, change your settings to true.
If you want the song to continue playing change the loop attribute from false to true. |

It shouldn't. I have yet to encounter a blog whose load time was slowed by music. What does slow it are these ads people use to make money. |

| It would help if you could share the url of your blog so I can take a look at what is going on. |

| Um . . . proper newbie question here! How do you get a song to have a URL? Presumably that means it has to be hosted somewhere right? Where can songs be hosted for free? And are there any copywright issues associated with this stuff? |

| Ah sorry Rose, I wasn't reading hard enough! So like I say, can I just take any song that I've ripped off a CD, upload it to be hosted on one of those free media hosting sites and then put it on my blog without asking anyone? I guess thats similar to what people do on myspace isn't it. |
