Yahoo Mp3 Music Player For Blogger

Many Bloggers want to have some music on their blogs especially Music based blogs and blogs kept by musicians and bands. One of the easiest yet most effective ways to add some songs to your blog is using the Yahoo Music Player. Of course it does not have to be music you can add other types Mp3 files like short story’s, poetry etc.. With the Yahoo Music player you can add a play list to your sidebar or elsewhere on your blog but also add a link to play an individual song. So in a post when you mention a song you can make that song play just by clicking the title. A small play icon will be beside the title to let readers know they can listen to it. The player itself is hidden until someone wants a song then it slides out and plays with controls to pause, toggle, volume etc.. This is a great option to play music on your  blog.
