  I’m slowly making my way through the help topics …. When a blogger adds audio, is this for a specific post or would it play the moment someone visits my blog for example (and has their speakers on)?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The WordPress player does not provide autoplay music. You can try an alternative player: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/alternative-audio-players/

  Please note: autoplay is a major irritant for some people (myself included). Many of us will click out never to return again if we experience someone else’s musical taste and have not been given an option to listen or not. I never return to such blogs.

  That’s good to know! I browsed through some posts and wondered about the audio features.

  Thanks also for the links. I saw the first one, but not the second!
