How to Play Music on Tumblr Automatically
Tumblr, a blogging service and social network, allows users to upload audio files to their blogs. While the audio files reside on Tumblr's servers and are indexed on the individual's blog, Tumblr doesn't provide a native way to create a playlist of those audio posts that will automatically start playing when readers visit a particular blog. While the service is not included in Tumblr itself, the company links to and endorses a service called StreamPad that allows users to generate code to create a playlist of audio files uploaded to Tumblr that plays automatically.
