audio tag question
-
I’m trying to use the audio tag on a post. This is how I’ve posted it:
[audio http://www.95bfm.com/assets/sm/184714/3/SigHansen210907.mp3%5D
When I save it and check it in “preview”, it doesn’t play, it’s stuck on “buffering”. Am I doing something wrong, is the audio file too large? Does anyone know? Thanks much -
The link to the MP3 is probably live, as it is here (ie clickable). That means that the software is trying to read it as a link to the file, rather than use it as a doorway to open the file on your blog. Go to Edit the post, and where you see the URL put your cursor on it. Then hit the “unlink” icon, the broken chainlink, and it’ll then break the link. Save the post and check it to see if it works then.
The second most common reason it won’t work is that the site you’re hosting it on doesn’t allow streaming/hotlinking. Double check with that site to make sure it’s fine.
