In the latest version of Chrome and Firefox, mp3 files embedded via D2L will auto play even when they are set to not autoplay.\u00a0 This is a known issue with newer browsers.<\/p>\n

The best work around is to use an HTML5 player to embed your mp3 files.<\/p>\n

1. Upload your mp3 files to D2L. We suggest putting them in a directory to help keep your files organized. In this example that directory will be “audiofolder”.<\/p>\n

2. Create or edit a content page in D2L.<\/p>\n

3. Inside the content page click HTML source editor<\/strong>. The icon is in the lower left of the content editing window:
\n\"HTML<\/p>\n

4. After the <body> tag cut-and-paste the following code:<\/p>\n

<audio controls>
\n<source src=”audiofolder\/audiofile.mp3″ type=”audio\/mpeg”>
\nYour browser does not support the audio element.
\n<\/audio><\/p>\n

Replace \u201caudiofolder\/audiofile.mp3\u201d with the location and name of your mp3 file. Your HTML editor will look something like this:
\n\"HTML<\/p>\n

5. Click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

6. Click Update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

7. Your Content page with the HTML5 mp3 player should look something like this:
\n\"D2L<\/p>\n
