RE: [blogger_user_support] MP3s

You just knew it would be me to reply didn't ya ;)

Yes it "should" be possible to post MP3's on your blog.
In theory, an MP3 is 'just a file', so just like a video, just like an
image.
The only difference being the application that opens it on yours or the
users PC.

One possible problem could be using the Upload Video Tool (I'm just
uploading a test 9meg MP3 file now and it appears to be stalled during the
video processing part).

I can't remember if you still post on Bloggers servers or if you use your
own web server but in theory, it should be as simple as uploading (via FTP
???) any old MP3 file to your web server (or if using blogger to any web
server you can access).
Then just include a standard link to it.
<a href="http://www.example.com/mp3/a_song.mp3">My MP3</a>

I suspect your problem is in using the video upload tool on Blogger....
(The google tool didn't like the MP3 I uploaded and I know it was a valid
MP3 file)

Is it possible to post an MP3 on my blog? I tried using the video icon
but it didn't work even though the MP3 will open up in Windows Media.
Any Ideas? Thanks! Sigrid

Jay, Right now the MP3 isn't hosted anywhere online -- it's on my desktop. I thought that would work to just upload it but that's no good. Where do you host...
