How do I use the ‘Play It Now’ button with MP3 files I have uploaded?

Classcaster makes it easy to add the ‘Play It Now’ Flash MP3 player to any post on your blog. Just follow the directions below.

From the Dashboard click on ‘Plugins’ and verify that the ‘Audio Player’ plugin is activated.
1. Once activated the ‘Audio Player’ plugin allows to you add a short code of the format
```
[ audio:URL-to-your-MP3 ]
```
  to any post at the point where you want the player to appear.
When creating or editing a post at the point where you want to insert the audio player select ‘Add Audio’ from the ‘Add media’ bar at the top of the editor.
You may either upload a new audio file or choose one from your Media Library. Once an audio file is selected, click on the ‘Audio Player’ button and then the ‘Insert into post’ button to insert the audio player code into your blog post.
Once you have added the audio player to your post, you can use the ‘Preview’ button to make sure it is working properly.
