Putting MP3's On My Blog

[saintjohnny]

I want to put a music player on my blog and make music tracks available to my readers. I was asvised to try castpost, but they're not taking any new customers. Is there a similar service available to Castpost?

Is it somewhere to store the mp3's you need? There's the facility built in to all your user's browsers to have a media player if you just use the "embed" tag. Check to see if this is permitted on your blog.

No, I have my MP3's stored, it's literally just to be able to put them on my blog so other people can play them.

Who are you using to host your blog? and do other members have players on their page?

Try pasting this link
http://media.putfile.com/The-Breeders---Cannon ball
into the text field here :
http://stevie21.com/celtic/getlink.asp

and you'll get code that begins <embed
Paste that into your site and see if it plays the song.

Hi, I use Typepad and yes, others have the Castpost player, but as I said, I cannot get that.

Stevie, I followed the instructions but it didn't work. Thanks very much for your help anyway.

What's the link to your blog & you'll get a better quality answer.
Maybe you just need to enable html in your posts there?

Hi, you can access my blog at:

http://kingofthehill.typepad.com

If you can see a way in which I could add the player, then I would be most grateful!

According to the help section at typepad.com that embed code above should work.

Thanks, I'll give it another go!
