  Hi. How do I embed an MP3 player into the sidebar? My hosting site (Snapdrive) provides the code to embed, but my WordPress site wouldn’t take it. Thanks!

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

  Have you looked through this blog?
  http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/

  I would try to insert the wordpress audio code (not the code give by your hosting site) in Text widget and see if it takes it. At this point in time, I have no idea if audio player can be placed in the side bar or not.

  We can’t help without the URL of the blog you’re talking about, starting with http, and the exact URL of the mp3 you’re talking about, also starting with http.
