audio files

is there a way to make it easy for a client to insert an mp3 file as a plugin on the page rather than creating a link to the file, or converting it to a flash file? i am trying to make it easy for one of my clients to post music samples without going through too many processes, and they like the idea of having the player right on the page. Thanks

No, power cms does not offer a way for embedding the player automatically, you will need to add the script for the player manually.

For the likes of youtube videos, I copy the embed code provided on youtube and paste it into position in the source code section of the editor. Once shown, it's dead easy to do. Is there not a similar method or website available for mp3's?

Audio in HTML5

Jason, wouldn't this be super easy in HTML5 now? Would you be willing to write a little PHP for a button in the content menu options that would sandwich the source file link in:

<audio controls="controls">
<source src="file_here.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="file_here.mp3" type="audio/mp3" />
Your browser does not support the audio tag.
</audio>
