  If it is protected iTunes music, you cannot upload it and make it play since it “DRM” or Digital Rights Management making it unable to play for anyone other than you! Other unprotected music could also be a problem since putting it on your blog might be breaking your copyright agreement :) If you get past those issues, the best way would be to convert the file to an MP3 and then upload it using the “create post” uploader at the bottom. Uploading media files to wordpress.com requires you have the “space upgrade” of at least 1 Gig to upload media file types. You can also upload to other services like box.net and just link the file into your blog using the audio player as such:

  [audio=http://yourfile.com/song.mp3]

  Hope that helps!
