Embed An Audio File

Okay, so the task of embedding an audio file into a blog without any annoying advertisements proved to be quite a challenge. Mr. Jones and I have signed up for countless hosting sites, giving nothing but frustrations. After finally coming across Boxstr, we thought there might be hope, but alas, there was either a cheesy ad or you were forced to download the file. After perusing the coding of the embedded player, I removed the reference to the image for the advertisement, and here is how you can do the same:

1. After uploading your audio file to Boxstr, go to the file's page (from the home page, go to "Files" and then "Manage Files" and click on "Share" next to the file you wish to share.
2. About half way down the page, where it says "Embed This Player" there is a line of HTML code. Copy that and then paste into your blog post using the "Edit HTML" tab.
3. Now we need to remove the ad image. About 2/3 into the coding, locate the part that says this:
"&image=http://boxstr.com/templates/default2/images/icons/boxstrmusic.gif"
4. Highlight and delete that text from the HTML code (be sure to leave one of the "&")
5. Publish the post
6. If Blogger gives you an HTML error message, check the box under the error and hit "Publish Post" again.
7. You should now have the full audio file in an ad-free embedded player on your blog!
