  I have a photo gallery and I would like a song to begin playing as soon as the gallery page is opened…is this possible without the person having to push the play button?

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

  Hi!

  Autoplay is not supported through the WordPress.com embedded players. However, it looks like you should be able to accomplish this using Soundcloud. First, you would want to upload your files to Soundcloud. Then, you could embed it with autoplay enabled here:

  Instructions for Soundcloud embeds on WordPress.com can be found here:

  Can you give that a try?
