Using Google Sites to host music files for hotlinking and embedding

Because the reliability of various third party web hosts are in question, I am now looking into using Google Sites for hosting music files for the purpose of hotlinking and embedding. I have done a test at Testing Google Sites for hosting music file for hotlinking (Click Play button , also, you may need to install Apple Quicktime) and the test is successful.

Replace the URL of hot-linkable MP3 file in the embed code below:

<embed width="160" src="URL of hot-linkable MP3 file" autostart="true" loop="true" height="50"></embed>

with the music file URL that you have saved into clipboard. Edit autostart="true" to autostart="false" if you don't want the music to play automatically.
Paste the embed code into your post editor if you want the music player in a post or into a HTML/Javascript gadget if you want the music player in the sidebar or similar locations.
