   Anyone tried to install an Odeo player in WP? Below is the script they say works in TypePad & Blogger. I've successfully used WP-ExtremeVideo plugin, but the Odeo code is pretty specific on what it wants to do. Any advice would be great. Thanks! ...

   <embed src="http://www.odeo.com/flash/audio_player_tiny_gray.swf" quality="high" width="145" height="25" name="audio_player_tiny_gray" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audio_id=1171778&valid_sample_rate=true&external_url=http://www.creativexpert.com/enclosure/cx_001.mp3" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>

   have you tried adding it with the WYSIWYG editor disabled? have you tried 'wrapping' it in something, like maybe a <div>...</div>?

   I simply link to my Odeo channel to listen to my podcasts from my podOmatic feed. To save bandwidth, I host my podcasts on a currently free podOmatic account and link each post directly to the podOmatic player in a window that opens seperately. I strip the tags and some other information from the URL parameter pass in order to minimize the podOmatic exit points from the resulting page.

   I like Odeo, but their player requires users to have Flash. I know that most people do, but I don't want to require it for hearing my podcast. There are a number of WP media player plugins that I was going to check out later after I finished with some other stuff I'm setting up for my site.

   If you're going to actually use the Odeo player, then you should wrap the embed tags up with object tags (and the appropriate parameters) for cross-browser compatibility. That may be your problem.

   BTW, I love your inaugural broadcast on web accessibility. Very pragmatic. ;> I'll be linking to it from my own accessibility series.

   Thanks for the help. Actually, I tried wrapping it in a div. That didn't work either. {shoulda mentioned that}

   I'll keep pokin'; if you think of something please let me know. Thanks again.
