Complete IDIOT!
I have ordered a portable MP3 player due to a lovely financial gift from a family friend. I am perpetually poor so I am always slow with acquiring new technology. I am gonna load that sucker up and sail through chemo. I used to be so savvy about music but due to that aforementioned poverty I am also not buying CDs like I used to. I thought I'd be very clever and install an audio component to my blog (inspired by What's OPERA Doc?) to let you all know what I am listening to on any given day. But I can't make it work. I pasted the code but all I get is that funny square saying the URL is not found. It asks me to copy my music onto my server. Do I need separate server space or can this be done with Blogger alone. Anybody out there with any tips? What you see on my blog is what I got. Any help would be appreciated. MUCHLY!!! Also please let me know what you are listening to right now. I love learning about new bands. Educate me, PLEASE!

Hey Kiddo, what MP3 player didja git? I have been having little fantasies about getting one for long motorcycle rides, but so far have not given in.
Being broke sure has a way of tempering reality.
K has one, she loves it. I think the technology is completely cool....
I am really happy to hear that you are feeling better and eating yummy stuff. Are you going to plant some medicinal?
Bowling for Soup Suckerpunch
Blogger doesn't host music files, so whatever song you want to play needs to be hosted on your own space (Or someone elses if they're willing to share -- hint).
Please don't fall prey to sites like iwebtunes, they're full of spyware and the like.
LBo-I know, I am so lucky! I thought I would rather do that with the money than pay bills. Bah for bills.
Big Heavy-thanks! I will check her out.
Fuel-I got an iRiver iFP 790T 256 MB player. My bro recommended it. He got one for the wife for her birthday and she loves it.
requiscat-thanks for the tips. I hate spyware. Bastards. I am trying to beg off some server space from the bro but I am not sure he still has one up and running. Stay tuned.
Most internet service providers offer a small amount of free web space. You could check with them.
I don't know if you'll see this, but if you want, I'll host a song for you. On my photoblog I had Jeff Buckley's "Satisfied Mind" playing for a while. The coding is up to you, but I'll host, and send you the URL via email. Just an idea!
requiscat-I LOVE jeff Buckley. I had a chance to see him before he died but didn't as I had an exam the next day. Big regrets. Your tip joged my memory and it turns out that I get 70 MB of web space free from my ISP. I have no idea how to use this space but I am hopefully seeing my bro, the Microsoft certified engineer, for tips. He usually doesn't help as he thinks I should figure out these things myself. I hate that! Anyway, I will try to figure it out. Thanks so much for the offer though. What program did you use to do your blog song?
vK - I'll give you server space for your music files. Thanks for the shout out -and yes, I AM up at 2AM blogging.
whfropera-thanks for the offer. I talked it over with my bro and he scared me off of doing music with all the copyright shit and stuff like that. Don't want to get into trouble. I appreciate it though.
