Hi guys!

would like to insert in my home screen a mini audio player with 1 track (this is because we have a magazine and sometimes we do interviews and let the people hear them or download them).

What should i do?

Need:

1- A Page to show the interview (written) and the audio embeed.

2- At the home screen let people hear the last interview with some mini audio player.

Any idea how to do it? Is there a plugin for this? (free…hope so)

Well, you can obviously make a “post” page with info about the interview, and use the built-in embed function for audio from WordPress ….

For home page, you could simply create a text box in sidebar widget, and put some text there like an h3 or whatever, short description and the mp3/4 HTML5 embed that WP supports out of the box?

see:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Audio_Shortcode

or plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/audio-player

as is often the case the hosted wordpress.com has better docs 🙂 But in most cases same principals:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/
