If you want to add background music to your WordPress blog, all you need to do is follow a few simple steps. First, access your WordPress dashboard by logging in with your admin username and password. Then, scroll down the left side of the admin menu to find the Plugins section. Click on the Add New link.

In the search box of the Plugins Add New page, type in Audio Playlist Manager with Autoresume, then click on the Search Plugins button. When the results page appears, you will have the option to view the Details of this plugin or click on the Install link. It is always best to read the Details information to ensure that the plugin is compatible with your current version of Worpress. As of 2-1-11, this plugin is compatible up to WordPress version 3.0.4. After reading the Details, click on the Install link.

This plugin will allow you to embed audio into both posts and templates. You can customize the plugin so that the audio resumes automatically for continuous playback across page loads, with only a pause between pages.

After the plugin has been installed, access the Plugins page to make sure that the plugin has been activated. It will appear in the Plugins list as Tierra Audio with Autoresume. Once the plugin is activated, it can further be customized.

In the Tools section of the admin menu, you will see the link for the Tierra Audio Playlist Plugin. Click on the link and create your playlist by following the instructions on the page. After the playlist has been created, you can click on the preview/embed link to find the shortcodes that can be used to place in posts or in your template.

However, the simplest way to activate your playlist is to access is through the Widgets area. Go to the Appearance menu of the admin menu, then click on Widgets. In the Available Widgets section, you should see a widget entitled Tierra Audio Playlist Player. Click on the widget and drag it to your sidebar area. Click on the down arrow to open up the audio player and customize the options you want. Click on the Save button, then visit your site to ensure that the background music is working.

For an example of a site using this plugin, visit Frisco Fury. The volume is set at 50. Keep in mind that not everyone expects to hear music when they access a web page, so you may want to keep the volume at 50 or lower so as not to cause someone to want to leave your site.
