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.

I tried the link formula you gave and my version came out like this:
<embed src="http://www.archive.org/details/AMVBG1414" autostart="false" loop="false" width="280" height="45"></embed>
I put the file on archive.org and it will play there. But when I try it on my blog I don't get an icon. |

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. |

Rose,
Okay, I loaded this
<embed src="http://www.archive.org/details/AMVBG1414/AMVGB1414_64kb.m3u" autostart="false" loop="false" width="280" height="45"></embed>
and got an icon that looked like it should work, but when I pushed the "play" arrow it didn't change into the "pause" symbol and I didn't get any music. Thanks for your help so far. |

OK, it's http://avanneman.blogspot.com/
It's basically a shell at this point because I haven't started posting anything. I'm hoping to get the audio straight. |

| I was able to add one cut to my blog avanneman.blogspot.com, but I have failed repeatedly to add another. I'm wondering if something is wrong with the site I'm using to post my music files--archive.org. Is there a better free site? |
