  Audioboo is a website that hosts audio files. I used to be able to use [ audio ] with the link to the audioboo page inside in my posts. A little grey audio player would appear on the page. Here is an example:
  http://bilinguish.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/mi-trabajo/
  In the past, there was an audio player on that page. Now it says “download” with a link to the audioboo webpage. Another example is this page:
  http://bilinguish.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/escucha-el-restaurante-el-burro-norteno/
  This page used to have an audio player on it and now there is nothing.

  I just tried posting audio in my most recent post with the same results.
  http://bilinguish.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/cual-es-tu-numero-de-telefono/

  Did the rules for posting audio players change? How can I post an audio player in a blog post? Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The WP audio player shortcode works with URLs of mp3 files. You’ve probably been using URLs like this:
  http://audioboo.fm/boos/991815-numero-de-telefono
  That’s not an mp3 URL, it’s the URL of a webpage. The right URL in Audioboo’s case is this:
  [audio src="http://audioboo.fm/boos/991815-numero-de-telefono.mp3" /]
