  Hi! :)

  You can embed any audio file that has already been uploaded to the web with an audio shortcode.

  You can upload the files to your site if you have the Personal, Premium or Business plan.

  These plans allows you to upload .mp3, .m4a, .ogg, or .wav files to your blog. If you want to give it a try, create a new post or page or edit a current one, and click the Add Media button.

  Next, click Add New, and select the audio file you want to upload from your files. Once it uploads, you can hover over the audio item in your media library and click on the pencil icon.

  This option will allow you to add a caption and edit the description. When these settings are to your liking, click Insert.

  The audio upload will show in the post editor as a shortcode. On your site, it will appear as an audio embed.

  You can also embed audio from a link!

  For example:
