  I have added an audio file to a trial blog, but can’t seem to get the player to play it. The slider moves right, then closes. What am I doing wrong? URL is http://scrichmond.wordpress.com/.

  Thanks for any help.

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

  Your file is an m4a. The audio player plays mp3s only.

  So it accepts the m4a extension, it just neglects to tell you it won’t play the file. Seems kinda lame and behind the times, but at least now I know. Thanks.

  You’re welcome. I think that’s a limitation of flash players in general. The Support doc on audio ( http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/ ) mentions the fact, but not clearly enough, I’m afraid.
