Step 2: Here is the code you need to add music to your blog
<embed width="250" height="50" autostart="false" src="MUSIC FILE URL"/></embed>


Step 3: You can add the music player anywhere you want in your Blogger blog..
Sidebar: If you want to add in sidebar, go to Layout >> Add a gadget >> HTML / JavaScript >> and paste the code and save it.
Blog Post: If you want to embed music file to any specific blog post, Paste the code in 'Edit html' mode and save it.


That's it, Enjoy! (:


clarification code above:
width: width of the music player
height: height of the music player
autostart: values : false or true(If you use the autostart value: true, the music file will automatically play. but keep in mind, it annoys many visitors/readers)
MUSIC FILE URL: the direct link to your music file
In this example, MUSIC FILE URL is http://your-host.com/uploads/from-the-moon.mp3
