Embedding mp3s

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi

    I write a music blog and embed mp3s in my posts. They are never made available for illegal download, they are embedded for listening pleasure only.

    Tonight I received this message when trying to upload a track to a new post;

    “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”

    Is this a new thing from WordPress? Has The Man taken over? I’m a bit distraught about this, as my blog is fairly popular and without the option of embedding mp3s would not be the blog it is.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

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

    Well…is your Space Upgrade current? Otherwise, you cannot upload MP3s directly to your blog; you have to host them elsewhere and hotlink them.

    Yeah, my Space Upgrade is current until the end of December.

    ..and strangely enough, everything seems back to normal. Weird!

    Thanks
