  Trying to embed audio so it will start playing/looping upon entry, but also with a player that is small and unobstrusive.

  I tried using the embed code from here:

  http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/audio.html

  
<embed src="mymusic.mid"
height="60"
width="145"
autostart="true"
loop="true"
width="0"
height="0">
</embed>


  But every time I save it in the blog post (http://mobileton.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/shoppingshopping), wordpress seems to strip it out again.

  Any ideas how to embed audio with a player that is very small (ideally something generic so I don’t have to dictate that people get flash player or anything like that), using a command wordpress won’t strip out? The built in audio adding function only allows me to put it in as a link.

  Can we have a link to your blog, starting with http?

  Sorry, I didn’t scroll down far enough.

  That code, and ANY code that begins with “embed” will not work here. Here are your options for audio:

  I looked at that before posting, but the [audio locationandnameoffile.mp3] doesn’t autoplay. User still has to click.

  Yes. There is no musical autoplay available at WordPress.com.
