Hi,
I am trying to embed audio (music player) in my blog. I am trying to use wordpress for the first time. I even went you this link to know, how to do it, but it didn’t help me at all. I embedded my music file URL within [audio] tag, but it does not work.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
This is the url I am trying to embed.
http://www.mediafire.com/?kn126g025s1ky7yThanks

The WP audio shortcode works with URLs of mp3 files. The URL you pasted isn’t the URL of an mp3, it’s the URL of a webpage. Forget Mediafire and upload your mp3s to a file hosing site that gives direct URLs (such as Fileden or Kiwi6).
Another thing to keep in mind: the audio player doesn’t like spaces and punctuation marks, so make sure you’ll remove those from the names of the mp3s before uploading them. -
Thank you so much for the needed help. Once I updated the URL with fileden link, the audio player appeared.
Thanks again!

Does that mean that if I wanted to embed a podcast from another site there is no way to do this? For example:
http://www.cbc.ca/earlyedition/high-velocity/2012/09/27/dronesrevelations-music-on-two-wheels/
I don’t want a link. I want the audio player to show as a piece of content. In this case the option to upload the audio to an external source doesn’t seem to exist. It’s hosted by CBC.
Thoughts? This is somewhat time sensitive.
Thank you!
