Is it possible to embed a player for a song or album on bandwagon.fm in a mastodon post, like it's possible for youtube and bandcamp?
or will it just looks like this:

The short answer is: right now, no.
Most embedding systems work with video, but not audio content. Band camp and Youtube are actually serving video elements, not simple audio, which is why they show up as playable media.
So, it’s theoretically possible for Bandwagon to do the same, but it will require some pretty big updates to how we transcode media, and I haven’t been able to prioritize that work yet.
Does this make sense?
@benpate yep, that makes sense. Thanks for the quick answer and the great work you're doing!
