Can’t add audio (mp3 or wave) to my blog, over and over
-
Ok…this seems like a very “rich” topic…and unfortunately I also have problems with audio posting.
I have my audi file uploaded on a local user generated content platform (our local YouTube :) ) and, following instructions from previous posts, i have the following line in my HTML post window:
[audio=http://www.trilulilu.ro/vizinviz/079c9dbeb94052]
A very nice thingie appears on my blog, but when I try to play the file, it just says “error opening file” or it simply starts buffering…but nothing else happens.
Can you please help me with this? Am I doing something wrong or is it the fault of the website in which I uploaded my audio file.
The link above is given by the site in cause.
Many thanks!

That link goes to a page, not to the file itself. You need a direct link to the file and since I don’t read the language, I can’t find it. The file should end with .mp3

Please help – I don’t understand this stuff either.
Last year I uploaded mp3 files onto uploadhut, and they gave me a link which I posted into my blog – no problem.
Now uploadhut has disappeared, so I’m using something called filefactory instead, but I don’t understand how to make the link so that it works …
I tried to follow the instructions on the FAQ and in here, and I wrote this
[audio http://www.filefactory.com/file/af002b4/n/7_2_09_11_57_mp3%5Dwhich isn’t a link, it’s not clickable, and if I paste it into a browser it gives me an error message. Can you tell me what I should be doing?
Thank you very much.
Linda

I’m doing the same thing, but I’m not uploading the files. They are already on the internet. Should be easy enough right? The link I am using is http://www.playlist.com/playlist/15018709003
Always get an error message when I try to play the music. Is there any other way I can do this?
On http://playlist.com you can make your own playlist, then it give you a code you can paste onto your website. I tried the code, but it didn’t work. Sometimes it just showed the HTML as text, other times it dissapeared.
If this HTML on http://playlist.com thing doesn’t and never will work, how do I make the [audio http://www.playlist.com/playlist/15018709003%5D work? -
Wait, so Vivian, your basically saying that I can’t the audio on http://playlist.com? OK, then nevermind. ;)

You cannot use the link you’ve given. That is the link to the page where the MP3 is stored. You need the link to the MP3 itself. It will end with .mp3

Can someone take a step back and share any wisdom re: the choices in external audio hosting services? I have seen Fileden, getdropbox, and filefactory mentioned. Are these the most popular sites of this kind? Any tips on which is/are most user friendly, most reliable, and most likely not to go out of business as soon as I start using them? I work on an older Mac powerbook G4, OS X, if that matters. Thanks!
