How can I embed Mp3's to play/stream from by wordpress Blog?

I have a blog where people can download some DJ mixes I have made.

I've seen a cool little thing on other people's blogs, which just has a little "Play Icon" and when you click it, its starts streaming. Here is an example (very funny and worth a listen btw)

Anyone know how I can get something like this for my wordpress blog?

That just a flash player that playing FLA files i believe. Just convert your MP3s to this and you should be able to embed the link into the HTML code and the player will stream it.*

* Its not true streaming

open notepad

enter a relative path for the mp3

save as blahblahblah.m3u (type:all files)

use an embed tag - you can set parameters like looping autostart size initial volume etc...

That plugin/extension for Wordpress is called Podpress. I use it to serve up a hip-hop podcast from chopshop.fm. Example can be seen here (that's a great soul-jazz-funk mix btw

).

Fantastic, thanks Rollo, thats exactly what I'm after!

podpress is good.
Wordpress 2.5 can also natively play media files.

Cheers guys I now have this working really well on my blog www.digital.dj/colly

Anyone know if you can get something similar for Facebook? I'd like to be able to stream mixes on my profile...
