Muse needs an audio/video player widget!

Question

I am building a website for a music agency and need to have clickable links or (ideally) a customisable player for mp3/video files so clients can hear/see the artist before hiring them. I used to use Frontpage and simply created a folder with the audio files in it then hyperlinked the text to the audio file, but Muse has no files I can access. Is there a workaround, or better still, can we have a media player widget?

Hi silverdogmusic.
You can hyperlink to audio files in Muse.  Muse normally sticks audio and video files you upload into a folder it creates called Assets.
Go to the page that has the text you want to hyperlink to the audio files. 
Select the desired text.
Click Add or filter links from the Muse toolbar.
At the very bottom of the list pages there is a Files category with an option to Link to File.  Click that option.
Navigate to the desired audio file and select it.
Then upload your pages.
If you look behind the scenes, you'll see that Muse put your audio file into an Assets folder and the next time you go to link to another file Muse will display the current Assets as well.
I hope this helps.
For a customizable player, I usually embed HTML code for that.
