A simple way to embed audio in your blog

I was thinking of including some music on my blog. I noticed that Blogger had an option to add video but not audio. An easy way around this is to use a video editing application like Windows Movie Maker to create a video from your audio file. Then, once you have added your newly created video to your post, reduce the height of the video viewer so that only the control bar at the bottom of the player is visible.

Tips: To create a video using Windows Movie Maker, you need to add at least one image or video clip in addition to the audio track. Adding a single, low resolution image keeps the size of the resultant video file small. When you've added your video to your post, switch to Edit Html and set the height of the embedded object to 27 (the size of the control bar).
