   I installed a couple plugins that are supposed to allow me to insert mp3 files in my posts so they will play in a music player or something like that on my page. I am a novice at all of this and I can't figure out what I am supposed to do. I tried following the instructions on several different plugin pages but no success. Can anyone suggest a nice plugin for this? I don't understand where I need to load my actual files. Do I put them on my server? In my media library? hosting site? Most of the plugins look like they want me to put a URL in my post but I definitely don't understand that part. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. My blog address is http://www.edievents.com/blog

   Does anyone know if there is anywhere else I can find answers to problems like this if I can't find them here? I don't know too much about all of this. Thanks again everyone.

   Hi thisey,
   You need to upload the mp3 files on to your server. After you've done that, paste the following code in your blog posts and type in the path to the mp3 file in place of 'MP3_FILE_URL'.

   <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=MP3_FILE_URL" width="400" height="27" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" />

   for example, if you've uploaded an mp3 file 'music-no-1.mp3' on to http://www.edievents.com/audio/, the code would be

   <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=http://www.edievents.com/audio/music-no-1.mp3" width="400" height="27" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" />

   Hey Ravi! Thanks so much for your help!! Unfortunately, I still cannot seem to get this to work. I used the code you gave me above, but nothing comes up in the post except the actual written code itself. Is their a certain type of player that I need to download first? Any clue what I might be doing wrong? I'm confused. It seems straight forward. Thanks again for your help Ravi!.

   Ravi! Thank you so much! Not too intelligent on my part. I guess I just sometimes forget that there is two tabs (one for HTML). I apologize. Works great. I also did not get notified that you replied for some reason on here. Very strange. I have been eagerly awaiting. I am very appreciative! My only other question is guess if I want to put info such as the song title and stuff on the player, how do I do that? Also, is there a way that I could put multiple songs on the same player with their titles and artists etc? Thank you so much! Have a great weekend Ravi!

    I've been embedding MP3 Players on my blog. You could try using Odeo. It's not bad. Here's the 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>
