Add audio to your blog/website with simple HTML using Yahoo Media player

There are several web services that allow you to add audio to your website or blog. But with most of them I find one or the other problems. In most cases, users have to go away from the blog/website page and reach a separate player on a different page before they could hear anything. To keep your visitors on your own page, you can use Yahoo Media Player Beta.

Yahoo Media Player automatically finds all audio links on a webpage and turns the links into a well-organized playlist. Besides, it also doesn’t take away your blog readers. It generates a media player on the same webpage and buffers the audio for your blog readers to hear it while they are on your blog. Placement of ‘Play’ buttons just beside the audio links provides easy audio access to your blog readers.

Here is a quick highlight of this Yahoo service:

• Adds audio to your site with one line of HTML
• Uses simple, easy-to-hack HTML instead of complicated proprietary markup, ushering in the REAL Media Web
• Magical floating design never gets lost, is available when you need it, gets out of your way when you don’t need it
• Automatically finds all audio links on your page, turning your page into a playlist
• Plays all your blog entries with a single button click
• Allows you to put the play buttons where they belong: IN CONTEXT
• Keeps the user in the page rather than sending them away to a media player
• Picks up your images and adds them as cover art
• Requires no download, install or maintenance
