Adding embedded audio

You can embed an MP3 file like music or podcast into your Wild Apricot web pages. Your visitors can listen to it right on your website (without requiring an external player like QuickTime or Windows Media Player).

This page describes how to add and play back audio files directly on your Wild Apricot website.

Uploading MP3 file

Upload your MP3 file to your Wild Apricot account using the File Management (To keep them organized we suggest creating an audio folder). Note that these files are counted against your file upload limit. You can also host the audio files on any other file hosting site, you just need to know the url to the files.

Add MP3 player to your page

First you have to select which MP3 player to use and there are many to choose from. In this example we will use the Google reader mp3 player.
To insert it, go to your page and open it in Edit mode. Cick on <HTML> button to open an HTML editor. Next, copy-paste the following HTML code on your page.

  • Where MP3_FILE_URL is the link to your mp3 file. Note there are 2 places where MP3_FILE_URL occurs.
  • To turn on the autoPlay function, add &autoPlay=true to the MP3 file URL. e.g."audioUrl="http://www.example.com/mysong.mp3&autoPlay=true"
  • You can also change the width and height values as needed.

The player would look similar to the following:
