music on blogs?
-
I would like to add music to my blog. (I noticed blogspot bloggers can do that). With this recent wordpress upgrade, is music now available as an option?
-
Thank you…I added the space upgrade, and I’ve uploaded the mp3 files so it’s in my library…I’ve looked around the forum and I can’t find how to get the music to play. I just want it to start running whenever the blog is opened.

What you’re asking for is autoplay. If you search the forums, you’ll find many previous threads on autoplay, and why it is a bad idea.
-
It will not autoplay at WordPress.com. And your readers will appreciate it. Most of them are playing music already, or deliberately NOT playing music. There is no autoplay option at WP.com.
What you can do is use the audio player whose instructions are in the link timethief gave you. You just put it in your posts.

Thank you for your thoughts on auto-play…I have read through the forums and understand the pros/cons :)
I just checked out http://www.playlist.com (which I found on a friend’s blog–blogspot), and I was able to create a playlist that will autoplay on my site, but I need to post one of the two following pieces of code into the site…I tried posting it into a text widget, but wordpress deleted part of the code and it won’t work. Any ideas how I could set this up so it will work?
