  I am using twenty ten. I have the space and custom design upgrades. I am creating a new page with MP3 tracks in between paragraphs of the text. I want to put the title of the song right next to the little media player icon, but it shows up underneath it.

  There are a number of options you can set with the WordPress.com audio player. One of them is to keep the player open and another is to show the title inside the audio player. Give the following a try and see what you think.

  As far as keeping the title to the right of the audio player that isn’t easily done. I tried several things and it always moves down below the audio player.

  Oh yeah, I forgot the link to the audio player support page with the customization options: http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/#customizing-the-audio-player .

  Thanks Sacred Path! I think it probably looks better with the title within the player (more minimalist)! The idea is to let the visitor know what my site can do and how to use its features and it’s great like that! Of course, I’ll probably want to change it in 5 minutes and start a new thread :)
