That's great Aravind. Thanks for letting me know. But do I need a subscription to do this? I just checked a story I created and the embed code is still grayed-out. I tried putting an iframe in a text block, but the SoundCloud player did not display. Perhaps I need to update something?

Hi there Story Maps Team! I am a professional nature recordist and I am very excited about your brand new Story Maps template. But I have a big question: will I be able to embed audio, especially SoundCloud files (using their iframe code), and also self-hosted MP3 files? I'm particularly concerned about the SoundCloud option. Such a beautiful player, but embedding needs to be done properly. If you end up relying on a url and embedly, I fully expect the player to display a big orange "Play on SoundCloud - Listen in Browser" button when a sound file has finished playing (see attached). If tapped, the orange button takes the person to the SoundCloud website, which is very annoying and confusing to the user! What is desired is for the player to simply revert back to the beginning, so that the user can play the recording again if he wants. On the other hand, if you end up allowing SoundCloud's iframe embed code, then sound artists such as myself will be able to style the player to our liking by using variables added to the iframe code. Using this technique, it is trivial to get rid of the annoying "Play on SoundCloud" button as well as to make the player revert back to the beginning, and to also tweak other design elements, such as removing the artwork if desired. So ... I hope you are going to reassure me that I'll be able to use the SoundCloud iframe embed technique, which will give me the control I need to produce beautiful and functional Story Maps that feature great nature recordings! Lang Elliott langelliott@mac.com musicofnature.com p.s. Note that right now I'm just testing your template as a free user. I don't dare purchase the $500 subscription unless I know for sure that I'll be able to embed audio in an artistically acceptable fashion.

A new question: Might it be possible to include an iframe link for SoundCloud audio files? Or is <iframe> not supported? One problem I just noticed with the current system, using the <audio> tag, is that sound files keep playing when a description window is closed (unless the user hits the pause button first, or else the sound files has finished playing). This will be annoying because a user may click a new map point and forget the number/location of the previous point. Thus, the user will not be able to back-track to switch the sound off. This will be particularly problematic for sound files that are over a minute long ... they will just keep playing in the background, even if the user starts playing a new sound file. At that point, the user will probably exit the Story Map altogether, being annoyed by the overlapping of sounds.

OMG! This is incredible because the Story Map Shortlist template provides a very easy way to create maps that include adequate descriptions for each map site. Once the word gets out, I think there will be a flood of soundscape recording artists making good use of this template.

I would like to add sound files to the text field descriptions for a Story Map Shortlist, to create as "Sound Map". Is there a way to do this easily that will allow for new points (and corresponding sound files) to be added over time?
