Default Putting an audio link on a webpage?
Can anyone tell me how to load an audio mp3 onto a webpage so that when you send someone there, they can right click and download the link?

Thank you!
Tiffani

Hi Tiffani,

How are you managing this website? Do you have access to add files to the server directly or are you only managing it through a program like WordPress?

If you can connect directly to the web server, such as by FTP or Remote Desktop, a simple solution would be to upload the mp3 file to a folder on the server. Then you can link to it on your webpage.

So, if I upload song.mp3 file to a folder called "music", the HTML that I would type on my webpage would read something like this:

<a href="http://www.myfancysite.com/music/song.mp3">Click here to download the song.</a>

Does that answer your question? I hope it helps. Good luck!

Hi Tiffani,
Liz gave you a workable answer, to be sure - but her solution would mean the visitor is downloading the file. If you want the audio file to stream from the site, rather than be offered up as a download, there is a solution here.

Hope that helps!
