  I use archive.org for hosting my mp3 files to post on wordpress and then burn on feedburner. There as so many links in archive.org for a file that I am uncertain which is the right one to use for wordpress and feedburner (anyone here that uses feedburner know what I need to be using so that feedburner tracks my stats? and does not download directly from archive.org?)

  It would be easier to answer if you’d include all those links you’re talking about.

  The following I am pasting from a topic I made over at the feedburner forums (which has yet to be replied to) this is my real underlying problem so maybe someone here may know:

  “If you go here:

  http://feeds.feedburner.com/controller1gaming

  my first post for my episode 1 the mp3 url is this:

  [audio src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Controller1Gaming/~5/128589684/Episode1final.mp3" /]

  my second post for me episode 2 the mp3 url is this:

  [audio src="http://www.archive.org/download/episode2_722/Episode2_64kb.mp3" /]

  I use wordpress and the thing is for each of my posts I use the archive.org url and somehow for my first post it must have changed the url to a feedburner url as seen in the first url I posted. But for my 2nd post it retains the archive.org mp3 url and when I go to “my feeds” and check item use the second episode using the archive.org url has no stats.

  So my questions are: which url should my feedburner feed be showing, the archive.org or the redirected feedburner url? if it is the feedburner redirect, how do I go about getting my 2nd post with the archive.org url to get redirected to feedburner?

  Also since my first episode has the redirected url, should I edit my post in wordpress to use the feedburner mp3 url or keep it as archive.org url or will this mess up my download stats in feedburner?

  In the html version of my feedburner feed there are also no “Play Now” links at the top of the posts that I believe I once had and have also seen on other people feeds.

  I am confused about this whole thing please help.”

  Do you use WordPress.com as your blog host, or are you hosted elsewhere? Because they’re two different pieces of software. It saves time if you link your username to your blog, so we can check out the source.

  Unfortunately, I can’t help you with the feedburner question. My expertise is limited to the WordPress.com side of things.

  my wordpress adress is controller1gaming.owrdpress.com and I use wordpress.com as my blog host. Right now I updated my ps3 link in wordpress to a slightly different mp3 link to see if that would work but feedburner still keeps the old link.
