+# MP3 Audio Hosting Feature
+
+This document describes the MP3 audio hosting functionality added to the blog-backup project.
+
+## Overview
+
+The blog now supports uploading and hosting MP3 audio files for individual blog posts. This allows you to:
+- Upload custom MP3 files to any blog post
+- Attach audio commentary, interviews, or supplementary content
+- Automatically estimate audio duration
+- Play audio directly in the blog post with a custom audio player
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. Supabase Storage Integration
+- **Bucket**: `podcast-audio` (shared with podcast feature)
+- **File Size Limit**: 50MB per file
+- **Supported Formats**: MP3, WAV, AIFF
+- **Public Access**: Files are publicly readable via signed URLs
+
+### 2. API Endpoints
+
+#### `GET /api/audio?postId={id}`
+Retrieves audio information for a blog post.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "hasAudio": true,
+  "audioUrl": "https://...",
+  "duration": 180
+}
+```
+
+#### `POST /api/audio`
+Uploads an audio file and associates it with a blog post.
+
+**Request:**
+- Content-Type: `multipart/form-data`
+- Authorization: `Bearer {token}`
+- Body: `file` (audio file), `postId` (string)
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "url": "https://...",
+  "path": "upload-2026-02-25-123456789-1740523456789.mp3",
+  "size": 5242880,
+  "estimatedDuration": 327
+}
+```
+
+#### `DELETE /api/audio`
+Removes audio from a blog post and deletes the file from storage.
+
+**Request:**
+- Authorization: `Bearer {token}`
+- Body: `{ "postId": "..." }`
+
+### 3. Database Schema
+
+The `blog_messages` table now includes:
+- `audio_url` (text, nullable) - Public URL to the audio file
+- `audio_duration` (integer, nullable) - Estimated duration in seconds
+
+### 4. Components
+
+#### `AudioPlayer`
+Located in `src/components/AudioPlayer.tsx`
+
+A custom audio player with:
+- Play/pause controls
+- Progress bar with seek functionality
+- Volume control with mute toggle
+- Time display (current / total)
+- Dark mode support
+
+**Usage:**
+```tsx
+import { AudioPlayer } from "@/components/AudioPlayer";
+
+<AudioPlayer 
+  url="https://..." 
+  duration={180} // optional
+/>
+```
+
+#### `CompactAudioPlayer`
+A minimal version for inline use:
+```tsx
+import { CompactAudioPlayer } from "@/components/AudioPlayer";
+
+<CompactAudioPlayer url="https://..." />
+```
+
+#### `AudioUpload`
+Located in `src/components/AudioUpload.tsx`
+
+Upload component for the admin interface with:
+- Drag-and-drop file selection
+- File type validation
+- File size validation (50MB max)
+- Upload progress indicator
+- Current audio preview
+- Remove/delete functionality
+
+**Usage:**
+```tsx
+import { AudioUpload } from "@/components/AudioUpload";
+
+<AudioUpload
+  postId="123"
+  existingAudioUrl={post.audio_url}
+  onUploadSuccess={(url, duration) => {}}
+  onDeleteSuccess={() => {}}
+/>
+```
+
+### 5. Admin Interface
+
+The admin dashboard (`/admin`) now includes:
+- Audio indicator badge on posts with audio
+- Audio upload section in the edit modal
+- Preview player for uploaded audio
+- Remove audio functionality
+
+## Usage Guide
+
+### Adding Audio to a Post
+
+1. Go to `/admin` and log in
+2. Find the post you want to add audio to
+3. Click "Edit"
+4. Scroll to the "Audio Attachment" section
+5. Click to upload or drag and drop an MP3 file
+6. Wait for upload to complete
+7. Save changes
+
+### Removing Audio from a Post
+
+1. Go to `/admin` and log in
+2. Edit the post with audio
+3. In the "Audio Attachment" section, click "Remove"
+4. Confirm deletion
+5. Save changes
+
+### Viewing Audio on the Blog
+
+- Posts with audio display a 🎧 icon in the admin list
+- On the public blog, audio appears at the top of the post
+- The custom audio player provides full playback controls
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### File Naming
+Uploaded files are named with the pattern:
+```
+upload-{date}-{postId}-{timestamp}.{ext}
+```
+
+Example: `upload-2026-02-25-123456789-1740523456789.mp3`
+
+### Duration Estimation
+Since extracting exact MP3 duration server-side requires additional libraries, we estimate duration based on file size:
+- Assumption: 128 kbps bitrate (standard for MP3)
+- Formula: `duration = (fileSize / (128 * 1024 / 8)) * 60`
+
+The browser will display the actual duration once the audio file loads.
+
+### Storage Costs
+- Supabase free tier includes 1GB storage
+- At 128kbps, 1GB = ~17.5 hours of audio
+- Podcast audio and uploaded MP3s share the same bucket
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements:
+1. **Exact Duration Extraction**: Use `music-metadata` library for accurate duration
+2. **Multiple Audio Files**: Support for multiple audio tracks per post
+3. **Audio Transcription**: Auto-generate transcripts from audio
+4. **Waveform Visualization**: Display audio waveforms
+5. **Download Button**: Allow users to download audio files
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Upload fails
+- Check that file is under 50MB
+- Verify file is a valid audio format (MP3, WAV, AIFF)
+- Ensure you're logged in with a valid session
+
+### Audio doesn't play
+- Check browser console for errors
+- Verify audio_url is accessible in the database
+- Test the direct URL in a new tab
+
+### Duration shows 0:00
+- This is normal for the initial display
+- The actual duration loads when the audio file is fetched
+- Duration is estimated from file size for the initial display
