SoundCloud Audio Player. WordPress.com and SoundCloud provide an easy-to-use embed tool that makes it simple to share music from SoundCloud to your blog.
Users can upload their own music/demos (or any shareable track) to SoundCloud, and then embed a SoundCloud music player on their sites. SoundCloud supports the uploading of AIFF, WAVE, FLAC, OGG, MP2, MP3, AAC, AMR, and WMA files. Once you have located a song to embed (via search or Explore), look for the “Share” button.
NOTE: If a track doesn’t have this button, you will not be able to play it outside of the SoundCloud web site. After clicking on the “Share” button, click on the tab that says “Embed.” Once you select “More Options,” you’ll see tools that allow you to change the color of your player as well as add an “autoplay” function. When you’re happy with your options, look for the WordPress.com shortcode, toward the bottom right. Copy and paste the shortcode into a new or existing post or page on your site.
