Adding mp3 Player and Sound Files to Blog

Hi:

I have a blog with blogger.com.

Goal: I would like to record and post audio files in each on my blog entries.

Progress so far: I opened an esnips account.

Problems:

(1) when I copy the code for a player and click post, I see the code but no player

(2) when I copy the url for the esnips sound file and click link, it takes the reader to the esnips web site and plays the sound file in my winmedia player.

Suggestions: I'd like to place sound files directly into each blog entry with an icon (like an mp3 player) that readers can click on to hear the recording.
