Today, I found another wordpress plugin that would be useful for your blog, the audio player plugin. This will enable you to embed the mp3 song into your posts and pages and stream them seamlessly. For those who are using the player for a podcasting blog, Audio Player has special options just for you.
RSS Feeds
You also have a choice over what to show in your RSS feed:
A download link: Choose this if you are OK with subscribers downloading the file.
Nothing: Choose this if you feel that your feed shouldn’t contain any reference to the audio file.
Custom: Choose this to use your own alternative content for all player instances. You can use this option to tell subscribers that they can listen to the audio file if they read the post on your blog. You can set the content in the options panel.
Go to the options panel to set these options.
The installation is straightforward and I'm sure it will be up and running in few minutes' time. So, here's the plugin at work, enjoy one of my favourite songs, Linger (Cranberries)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

The very first time i saw this extension on Shaarique.com and it was really cool :) I think its really good plugin for wordpress
It’s extremely useful especially when you are doing podcasting..
Seems a useful plugin to me too . DO you think it will work well in slow connections ..
I asked my brother at home who has slower connection..unfortunately, it’s not very smooth
Please, is there a way to hack the plugin and make it work also in comments, not only in post or pages?

Hi,
I want to play some audio files using streaming as (I don’t want allow download option) my question is:
1. Does this work only with the hosted site or will it work with the WordPress Blog (I intend to create the blog)
Could you please comment on this..
Thanks,
I’ve got a nifty hack that allows you to use this WordPress built-in MP3 player to play MP3 files that are hosted on WordPress itself, without needing to pay for a Space Upgrade. Check out my post at http://always0nline.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/embed-music-in-wordpress
