Let’s say you’ve produced your own audio file. Assuming you own the copyright to the music or podcast* in question, and that it is in digital format (preferably condensed to 44 khz which is ample for online listening) you can add it to a blog post.
1) Pay for audio uploads (Recommended for beginners.)
Wordpress makes this very easy. Just cough up another $10 per year and this function is added to your normal posting area. Not much $ considering the convenience.
2) Use ftp and an alternate server link (For more advanced users)
If you know how to upload files via ftp. you can simply upload them to another server (i.e where your domain is hosted) and reference them with a link. This is free.
Click here to see an example.
If all you want to do is reference a popular song by a favorite artist, try linking to sonific.com (you’ll have to set up a free account first and gather your tunes) See my sidebar on the left for an example of a fun song by Zoe Lewis, “Snow White” (guaranteed to make you smile).
If you really want to get crazy with audio, you can have a regular radio show on the internet. Essentially, all this requires is a blog/podcast and a $32 microphone from an electronics store. A good place to start (with free hosting) is podbean.com. Very user-friendly.
*(A podcast = an audio clip that can include music, but is usually an interview/speech/book reading/spoken word of some sort)
