  Hi guys,

  After reading the FAQ i’ve notived that it’s possible to host music elsewhere on the web and then link to it in your blog. I’ve managed to successfully achieve a link to hosted music within a blog post, but it is possible to link to music using a text widget in your side bar?

  Many thanks for the help!

  Hello there,
  Are you aware of this? http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/12/24/how-do-i-get-music-on-my-blog/
  It’s my understanding that the sonific widget does not fit in sidebars.
  HTH :)

  Thanks timethief,

  I have read about the sonific widget but that would only anable me to play music from the sonfific site.

  Using option 1 at the end of the link you provided i simply wanted to paste the url of my hosted music into a text widget to get the player in my side bar…

  I’m sorry but that isn’t possible. The only players that can be used on wordpress.com blogs are listed at the link I provided. All other code placed in text widgets for installing music players 3rd party sites will be stripped out. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/can-i-add-flash-video-embed-other-media/
