  Hi,
  I’m developping a scales dictionnary blog for guitarists and bassists at these adresse :
  https://guitarebassegammes.wordpress.com/
  I would like to add some music files, but with the music format .gpx, created by Arobase Music.
  These .gpx music files can be use with Guitar Pro 6 and mysongbook player.
  http://www.guitar-pro.com/fr/index.php
  I’ve just see you support page, but I don’t find how to add these .gpx files on a blog.

  Is it possible to use a musicplayer with my actual free Worpress blog theme Minnow ?
  Are they other free WordPress blog themes with music players available ?
  Can I use a music plug-in in a free blog theme or add a html to link with a Youtube or a Soundcloud site ?

  In other way, what are the most simple WordPress tools (free tools as possible) for music player users ?

  So, I would like to use only free tools, but :
  What are the price in Euros (€) for premium options ?
  What are the best webhosting companies in France and in Belgium who are partners with WordPress ?
  Thanks a lot to send me more informations (in french or English) to my e-mail adress :

  No, it is not possible to use that format. You can find all the acceptable options here http://support.wordpress.com/

  Thank for your reply, Raincoaster.
  So, it seems that the only (free) solution is to add a link to another website (Soundcloud, for exemple) in my blog… or to use the other options of WordPress like ” premium “.
  I’ve found these page of music themes, but it’s not very clear fo me :
  http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/harmony/
  A temporary offer of FREE music themes for only 30 days test !?
  What happened at the end of the test period, if I don’t want to use these music theme (for technical reasons with my browsers or with a webhosting, for exemple) ?
  Are they free options possibilities yet or a ” come-back” option to a former music theme ?
  Thanks for more informations.

  Do not get any theme from an external source: those are only for WordPress.ORG blogs, and you cannot use them on your blog.

  What kind of files you can upload does not depend on your theme anyway. You can ONLY upload the kinds of files your media library will accept. If you have the $99 upgrade bundle you can upload mp3’s for instance.

  This is a workaround https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/want-to-upload-a-gpx-file-type-to-blog?replies=2

  Sorry, Raincoaster, but I haven’t seen the others questions about the same problem (.gpx) in these topic.
  So, without other free solutions my pedagogic blog for musicians will be a blog without music files… or I’ll must to pay for a WordPress ” premium ” Music blog to use all the options available.
  I will to think about…
  Thank a lot for your informations, Raincoaster.
