  Hi,
  i’m trying to add audio files to posts. Following advice from WP support and forum answers, the audio player appears on my blog (www.folkcatalogue.wordpress.com), and the track plays fine, but instead of identifying the track it says “Track 1” when you press play. Am I missing something simple? Here’s the code I put in:

  [audio http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1563845/Bonnie%20Dobson%20-%2003%20-%20Farewell%20to%20Nova%20Scotia.mp3%5D

  Cheers

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

  That’s pretty much all that it does. As far as I know it’s not configurable.

  See this blog post, http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/audio-player-additional-options/ , and it will explain all the “attributes” that can be used with the audio player. You can indeed show the artist or song title by setting the proper attribute.
