Free MP3 Software Audio Player Downloads For Your Blog or Web Site

Free MP3 Software Audio Players to embed in your blog or web site, for your visitors to listen to music from MP3 audio, vocal tracks, or sounds. These software players require you to easily embed HTML code, some with customization, in your blog or web site. This allows audio to be either automatically played, or the visitor can choose to play with options, from MP3 audio files, that are hosted on a server. There are free servers (Search online for free hosts, e.g. Boxstr or Hotlink Files), or perhaps try your web site's server, or your ISP, to upload and then link the MP3 audio files to the player's source code.

Javascript code for web site players might be like this -

<embed autostart="false" src="Your%20MP3%20File%20URL" height="40" width="200">>/embed>

or a bit more complex like:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.odeo.com/flash/audio_player_standard_gray.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" flashvars="audio_duration=DURATION&external_url=" your="" mp3="" file="" url="Your MP3 File Web Address" height="52" width="400"></embed>

Some of the websites may have html links that you can insert in your site, so that when clicked it will download, and ask to play in your default audio player or to save the mp3 file. Or you can embed as an object a common media player, such as Windows Media Player and link to your mp3 file. There are many variations of the code required to add optional features such as auto play, mute, auto size, etc. Perhaps search online for tutorials (e.g. streamalot.com, mediacollege.com, mioplanet.com, etc).

Please Note:

The players below are currently free software to download, but may change to shareware, pro versions, require a user login, change configuration/site specific, (as in Google MP3 Player) and so on. Best to search online to find a MP3 player.
