  Why can’t the MP3’s I’ve loaded onto my blog be downloaded? I thought I’d done what I needed to do but they seem to be dead. Any help or advice would be fantastic! My blog is at urge2burge.wordpress.com

  Should be able to. Just provide a direct link and tell folks to do a “Save target as…”

  Else it plays in the browser.

  Thanx drmike! To provide a “direct link” do I just upload the MP3’s from my PC usiong the blog post form or do they need to be stored somewhere else? I still can’t get most of them to play or download.

  I need your help with interpretation please. http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/01/19/songs-and-movies-on-wordpresscom/
  I believe the announcement says that you can PLAY MP3’s “hosted anywhere on the net” but not that you can upload them. That would indicate the need to establish an Odeo account wouldn’t it?

  You can upload your mp3’s to Musicweb, where they are hosted for free. Then, you can just put the Musicweb URL of your mp3 in the WP audio player, and it works like an absolute joy!
