Sort:  

which video/audio file do you want to embed?

in general.
stuff from sites like this
MP3's mostly...
I want the viewer to only HEAR the music
no images (that would be distracting)

I don't think it could be done.
Not on steemit.com
But you could try I guess

I havn't been able to make it work.
I'm NOT a geek..so that's not saying much
I wish I could though.

Actually, you could try this
If you want it to play automatically, you could upload your audio file online and copy the embed code.

Another way is to upload on youtube or other site without images
