How to Add an Audio file

In your Add New Post / Edit Post window click on the music note icon at the right of the Upload / Insert menu - If you’re not sure that this is the correct option, hover with your mouse over the icon, it should say “Ad audio”.

In the “Add Audio” window click on Browser Uploader link (if you can’t see this, verify that you are in the “From Computer” tab). Than click on Browse to access your computer. Browse to look for your audio file, click on the file name than click on the Open button. The name of the file you’ve chosen will now appear in the white box in front of the Browse button in the screen. Click on Upload to upload your audio file to our server.

Title

Your mp3 file has to have a title, this will be used as the text which will link to your audio file in your post.

Caption

When you type a name in the caption field, the text will not be shown for audio files.

Description

Enter a description in this field - this will be only visible in combination with the POST URL button. Use this when you don’t want to include the description of your audio file in your post, but rather on a separate page. Using this option will place a link to your mp3 title (if not already applied) in your post to a new page, where the mp3 file link will be shown with caption if provided.

Link URL

If you click on the None button or you leave this field blank than the audio file will not be linked to your Title. Don’t use this.

If you click on File URL the system will place a link to the original audio file. Use this when you’d like to link to the file directly, rather that going first to another page with a description. Use this, when you don’t have a description for an audio file.

If you click on the Post URL button (this is set by default when adding an audio file) the system will place a link to your post entry’s attachment page, which will display the audio file link on a separate page with its Title, description and link to the original file audio file.

When you are ready deciding how you would like to place your audio file, click on Insert into Post. The audio file will be linked to the Title you’ve given it.

When a web visitor clicks on the audio file link, it will open another page with the link again the description. Once the visitor clicks on the audio file link again the file will slowly be loaded and opened in a separate page - it will be played using a local audio player from the visitor’s computer, which is associated to audio file format (mp3, wma, etc.). Try to use mp3’s as this is the most common format.
