Hello Readers!
Yahoo Media Player is a great media player for sites and blogs. You can easily embed your MP3, WMA music files and YouTube videos on Yahoo Media Player. Here is an easy step to step guide about how to embed your media files on your blog using Yahoo Media Player.
The Yahoo Media Player is currently available in 2 colors, ''Black'' and "Silver''.
If you want to use Yahoo Media Player for only 1 time on your site or blog and do not know how to edit HTML, then use this code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://webplayer.yahooapis.com/player-beta.js"></script>
<a href="Your MP3 URL Here ">Track Name Here</a>
<a href="Your MP3 URL Here ">Track Name Here</a>
Replace the first red text with ''Direct MP3 URL'', for example:
http://example.mp3
Note: If you add the Yahoo Media Player using javascript(JS file) in posts lots of time, the site/blog may load slowly. The best way to add Yahoo Media Player with no lags is to add it into the HTML.

Black Player code
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://webplayer.yahooapis.com/player-beta.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://webplayer.yahooapis.com/player-beta.js"></script>
