Posting audio from SoundCloud

SoundCloud is a social sound platform where anyone can create and share sounds. Recording and uploading sounds to SoundCloud lets people easily share them privately with their friends or publicly to blogs, sites and social networks.

There are two ways to add audio from SoundCloud to Blogger -- by posting directly to Blogger from SoundCloud, or by copying and pasting the HTML code to your blog.

Posting directly to Blogger

Find some audio on soundcloud.com you'd like to share on your blog. Press the share button in the top left-hand corner of the player:

Click on the Blogger button.

If this is your first time posting audio to your blog from SoundCloud, you'll need to grant SoundCloud access to your Blogger account.

Grant access

Once access has been granted, click the Blogger button once more. This time, a pop-up window will appear, allowing you to select the blog (in case you have multiple), set the title, write the post, add any tags, and even save the post as a draft before publishing. Hit Post and you'll be good to go!

Adding sounds to Blogger with HTML

First find a SoundCloud player you want to add to Blogger. If the player is on soundcloud.com click on the Share button. If it's on another website, click on the "</>" icon.

Click the Share button

This action will make the share options appear. Select and copy the text in the embed field.

Once the embed code has been copied, you're ready to paste it into a Blogger post. While editing the blog post, make sure you're using the HTML view.

Paste the code where you'd like the player to appear.
