To host a music player using the Amplitude.js tutorial on Webflow when the CSS file is too large for the embed component and GitHub hosting is not working, you can follow these steps:

Reduce CSS size: If your CSS file is too large, you can try to optimize it by removing unnecessary code, minimizing whitespace, and compressing the file. There are online tools available that can help with this process, such as CSSNano or UglifyCSS.
Use external hosting: If the CSS file is still too large for the embed component in Webflow, you can host the CSS file externally. You can use services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Amazon S3 to host your files. Upload the CSS file to one of these services and make sure it is publicly accessible.
Link external CSS file: To link the external CSS file in Webflow, you need to use the Custom Code section. In the Webflow Designer, go to Project Settings > Custom Code. Under the Footer Code section, paste the following code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="YOUR_CSS_FILE_URL">

Replace "YOUR_CSS_FILE_URL" with the URL where you have hosted the CSS file.

Add Amplitude.js code: Now you can follow the Amplitude.js tutorial to add the necessary JavaScript code to create your music player. Make sure to include the script tag in the Head Code section of your Webflow project.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/amplitudejs@7.5.1/dist/amplitude.min.js"></script>

Customize the music player: Customize the player by adding your own HTML and CSS code. You can use Amplitude.js documentation for guidance and inspiration.

By following these steps, you should be able to host a music player using the Amplitude.js tutorial on Webflow even if the CSS file is too large for the embed component and GitHub hosting is not working.
