MP3s

Is there a way to embed an MP3 file in a comment to a blog?

Open a new post and use that code.
Copy and paste.

Something odd was happening with videos recently. All the You Tube links were returning adverts.
Opera should have had its own stuff like all this by now. An online office too. Google won't let anyone in from Opera. You have to use Firefox, IE or Chrome.

First do no evil then do no harm:
Blow Google away. And iPod.

Yes, see http://my.opera.com/wikipedian/blog/2012/02/05/html5. I used HTML5 to embed, with plugin fallback.

If you want to use the codes, please remove everything between the "//" signs and replace the files with your own links.

Edit: Wait, comments? Comments does not support embedding plugins only HTML5, just tested. Plugins would not be rendered. Only blog posts support full fallback for older browsers.

<p>
Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio element.  Please turn off <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/products/ie-9/features/compatibility-view">Compatibility View</a> or upgrade to a modern browser like <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/products/ie/home" target="_new" title="IE9 download">Internet Explorer 9 or later</a> or <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/" title="firefox download" target="_new">Firefox</a> or <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/download.pl?ref=wikipedian&p=opera_desktop">Opera</a>.  In addition to the support for HTML5, modern browsers come with many additional benefits, such as speed and security.</p>
