 * Hi,
 * I have been struggling with how to include audio on my page. on this page: [http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/)
   they show a shortcode for doing it. However the resulting player, though quite
   functional, does not look the way I want it. I want it to look and behave the
   way it does on the example page.
 * Is there a way to alter the look and behavior of the player?
 * I also tried the plugin ‘Audio Player’ and that player looks and behaves on the
   page the way I want it but it does not integrate into the back end in an aesthetically
   pleasing way (special short code for the player, not the same as wp produces 
   when including media). This player does not work on iPhone it seems and though
   I know apple is to blame I am powerless to influence apple the way I do my page.
 * Neither of these solutions can easily be included in a widget. I have managed
   to do it by including the following in the functions.php file:
 * add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);
 * that line apparently allows for the usage of short codes within a widget.
 * I know there is not a clear cut question but what I want is to simply include
   sound in an elegant manner. Also it would be cool to have a pop up mini player
   so the music does not stop if people browse my page.
 * best regards.
