  After years of use I now can’t get the audio player to work properly.
  In the past all I had to do was to upload the mp3, click the audio player button and it would post the appropriate code into the post. Now, it doesn’t. I click the button and nothing happens.

  I have found a fix. If I click the “url” button in the app and add “[audio: ” to the beginning of the code and “]” to the end, it works. I used it here http://nicktann.co.uk/2012/10/my-interview-on-wrcg-radio/
  This is also happening on other sites that I look after. Any clues?

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

  Ernestto,

  Here is a nice audio player that will allow you to control the width of the player. Check it out. http://wordpressaudio.com

  @mooremike – no plugins allowed on WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  @ernestto- are you referring to the new music player widget? If so, apparently you will first need to purchase a space upgrade in order to upload mp3s to your site.

  If not the music player widget, can you give a link to it?
