    I have a 2 minute recording of music that I would like to add to a very long page I am building using the Avia layout builder.

    What and how is the smarter approach?

    Use soundcloud or the likes or host song on my own server?

    And how do I get the song to have a playable interface?

    How do I get it on the page?

    Thanks

    Why not use built in feature?

    Thanks for that link.

    Do you think it will slow down the load time of a dense page that has a lot of content to add to media library?

    or is it inconsequential?

    Hi,

    Well I uploaded the song file into the media library and I created a promo button and linked to it.

    Yes, it plays when the button is clicked, but the problem is that it goes to a new page to play the music and I want the music to play within the same page. So I have yet to figure out how to accomplish that…

    You can’t miss the bright red button that says “click to listen”

    Hey!

    you have not embeded a player but a link ( which for me also does not play, seems the file is broken ).

    Hi,

    yes, it is a link to the audio file which is in the media library. It works for me by opening a new page, perhaps because I have permissions?

    However it is not a good solution in regardless as I would like to have a player embedded so that there is no page change or opening.

    Have you an idea of how to incorporate a simple audio player into the page?

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    You’d need to use a plugin for this, like:
