  This should be an easy task right ? When I click on add audio the only selections I am given are in fact image files (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, pdf, doc, ppt, odt, pptx, docx) and my MP3 will not appear. Any help is appreciated….

  update: Using the ‘Browser uploader’ seemed to have worked. It’s a bit misleading though (see above)

  You can’t upload mp3s to your blog unless you have the paid space upgrade.

  But uploading to blog doesn’t equal “adding to post”. You can upload your mp3s to Fileden, copy their URLs, and use the shortcode for the WP audio player in the html post editor:
  [audio URL HERE]
