Embedding files into wordpress blog is pretty easy with many wordpress plugins present to support the embedding of media files like mp3, and video files. To do the same in a simple web page, or to embed the media files without the usage of plugins there are a few codes that you can directly use with the mp3 file link if you have uploaded it to your server.
The visitors to the website can listen to the mp3 and play the mp3 files through the flash players in their browsers and don’t require any additional players like Windows media player etc. Here is how you can insert MP3 files in the web pages –
