How to Make Your MP3 Autoplay on Tumblr
Tumblr allows you to add custom HTML code to your blog's sidebar. Using this feature, you can make your blog play an MP3 file automatically without relying on Flash-based music players or streaming video and music websites that may display advertisements on your blog or slow browsers down. Upload an MP3 file to an online server, or use a link to an MP3 file found online and add a brief block of code to your blog to play a song for people who visit your blog.
