  Hi, I am trying to upload an audio file to my blog. When i go to upload, the file names are faint and unclickable, ALL of them, short or long, songs and interviews alike. The file I’m working with is a 20 mb interview, just for detail, but at the moment all files are unclickable. What could this be? I can’t see what i might have set incorrectly. Ideas? Thanks.

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

  In order to upload and embed audio files directly to your WordPress.com blog, you need to have at least the 5G space upgrade, which needs to be renewed annually.

  You can use the audio shortcode and store your audio files somewhere like fileden or box.net and then link to them with the audio player shortcode, which is referenced in the link @jennifer gave you.

  AFAIK, the only way to directly link files from box.net into a post is with a paid account.

  However, you can still either use the link that box.net gives you to send your visitor to box.net to hear the audio or better yet, use the box.net widget in your sidebar for free. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/boxnet-widget/
