Is there a way to add an audio bar in the Github readme.md? I want to be able to play a certain mp3 file directly through the readme.md, rather than be directed to some soundcloud or youtube link.

Update May 2021: as I already reported in "How to embed a video into GitHub README.md?", "Video uploads now is generally available"
Original answer 20217:
No, as I documented before, an <audio> element (or video) is not supported in GitHub Markdown.
For video, a workaround is to use an animated GIF, but for audio, having a placeholder linking to the actual audio seems to be the only way.

As of May 2021, GitHub supports video uploads, and sort of supports audio uploads. While you cannot directly upload .wav or .mp3 files to GitHub, uploading a .mp4 or .mov file containing only audio gives an (albeit poorly-formatted) audio player:
You can convert .wav and .mp4 files into compatible video files with freeconvert.com or any similar converter.
