How to Embed an MP3 Player in WordPress

1. Begin a new post within your WordPress dashboard. Above the main text box, you will see four small icons to the right of the words 'Upload/Import.' Click the icon that resembles a musical note to open the 'Add Audio' dialog.
2. Click 'Select Files' to upload an MP3 to your WordPress blog. If you choose this option, the size of the MP3 file must be smaller than 2 megabytes. Alternatively, if you are embedding an MP3 file hosted on another site or on your own website, click the 'URL' tab at the top of the dialog. Type or paste the URL into the 'Audio File URL' field. Click 'Insert into Post.'

3. Compose the remainder of your blog post. Click the 'Preview' button to see how your MP3 player will look within the post. Once you are satisfied with your post, click the blue 'Publish' button in the right sidebar.
