  adding my own music to pages

  Sorry to bother you again. I read your support webpages but need more information.

  My website/blog http://www.mazzolindicanti.com has lyrics to many Italian folksongs. I am wondering if in addition I could upload simple “piano” renditions of the tunes, one by one next to the lyrics for each song. (In other words, not all together in a playlist or library. What I am imagining is: after the title of each song there would be a button to click on, and you can hear a few bars of the melody.)

  I think that I can plunk out the melodies by using “Garageband” on my Mac. (The songs are very old and “anonymous” so there would be no copyright issues.)

  I know that when I “purchased” this blog/site from WordPress I paid for some “deluxe” features. I am not sure if that included the extra space necessary for audio.

  Can you tell me if this idea is feasible? Or can you think of a better or easier way to do this?

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

  Hi there,

  Yes, the value bundle includes the space upgrade you would need!

  I do think that what you want to do is possible. You’d use the playlist feature. Here’s more about it:

  You should be able to insert the playlist (after you have audio tracks uploaded) into a new post or new page, just like you would insert any media, then only select one track per insertion.

  Let me know if you need help getting started!

  Hi again,

  I just wanted to check to see if you needed any additional help, or if you had any further questions.

  Happy holidays!
