  I am doing what is suggested (http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/audio-player-additional-options/) with panos’s post, but the html language shows up in the actual post. I have been messing around with it, and it is not doing as panos’s tutorial says. Why does the html appear? I thought it was because in the editing section, there was too much space between just above the text and the short code, but I cannot shorten that space, if you know what I mean.

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

  Excuse me… I mean the html language shows up in the actual page (not post) entitled, “Sample Audio Playlist,”

  The HTML shows up because you pasted it into the Visual instead of the HTML editor.

  What exactly are you trying to do?

  Oh yes I knew it was something simple… I guess I am just tired. But is there a way to make the type smaller and more compact with the title? Thank you.

  Okay that was helpful. I went through the comments below all of that to see if there was a way to bring the word “Tune” next to “Trumpet,” but I did not see anything relative to that. I would like to have “Trumpet Tune” as one line if possible. I played around with the font size and that did not do it. Maybe if I went below 1.0 em that would do it, but then it would be difficult to read.

  “Tune” falls below “Trumpet” because your main column is too narrow to accommodate both words plus the player with all the padding you have added.
  For this particular case you’d need this:

  <table><tr>
  <td style="font-size:80%;padding-right:14px;">Trumpet Tune
  by H. Purcell</td>
  <td>AUDIO SHORTCODE HERE</td>
  </tr></table>

  But if you want to turn all the texts and the players to this layout, you’ll need a different coding.

  Are you aware of the following?
  a) You can decrease the length of the players.
  b) You can add all the tracks to the same player.
  c) You can use another player that will display the playlist.
