How To include audio into your content

by Wolf on September 25, 2009

Getting audio to play directly from your post or page is really easy, just follow these steps:

  1. Upload audio file .mp3
    Create a folder (directory) in your website’s root folder (public_html) called audio
    upload the .mp3 file to above folder
  2. Install plugin WPAudio
  3. Insert player into content
    Add a new post or page and switch to HTML mode and
    place this code anywhere you want the player to play your audio:
    {wpaudio url=”http://your-domain.com/audio/your-audio-file-name.mp3″ text=”text to click to play your file”}
    Just replace the “{}” above with “[]” and WordPress will see it as an embedded plugin and will display your player.

MPAudio is the easiest plugin to use and most importantly it doesn’t require flash!

For an example of how it looks and works see my post here that contains a interview with Chris Garrett

I sent this feedback to the developer
Hi there
Works well your pluin, thank you.
I read somewhere that there are problems with it working on Vist/IE8, do you have any comments on that?
Also I got a bit confused when using it first of how to set the text to for it.
Maybe you example above could include the text tag as well.
and his response:
Thanks for writing, Wolf. I’m working right now to make it even more
bulletproof across browsers, but there aren’t any incompatibilities —
just a handful of people who have trouble because of theme conflicts or
one-off problems.

I’ll add the text to the example. The next release will support using
links instead of tags too.

Todd
