Open your file directory again and click on the page of your website that you would like to embed music on. This should open up the HTML editor. Enter the embed code into your HTML editor to embed music on the page. I can't place the exact code on this site because HTML code is not allowed. However, I have included a link below that will give you the embed code. All you need to do is edit it to show the address for your .mp3 file.
