  Hello. I’m confused as to what information I need to have an audio file appear on my wordpress site with the player.

  I’ve uploaded the audio file to my site here: http://www.lovolution.net/podcast/graph1.mp3
  I want to link it to my wordpress site at: doctress.wordpress.com

  What is the code I need to do this?

  Thanks.

  There are 4 ways to do this:

  1. Upload an mp3 file somewhere on the internet and link to it like this [audio ] with the address inside.
  Like this:
  [audio http://wpcom.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/mattmullenweg-interview.mp3%5D

  which will produce the following player:

  Hello doctress,

  As you’ve seen inserting the following code where you’d like the audio file to appear

  [audio http://www.lovolution.net/podcast/graph1.mp3%5D

  will result in something like this post.

  Make sure you switch from “Visual” to “Code” on your post editing screen first. Otherwise you’ll get a line of code (like above) instead of the player.

  Thanks for helping. Do you have any idea why it sounds so slow?

  I’m editing the audio in Final Cut Pro and then moving it into iTunes for compression to a MP3. What am I doing wrong?

  Thanks and Lovolution,

  Probably you used the wrong sampling rate for the MP3 file. The FAQ says:

  Note: The player expects the file to be encoded at 44.1kHz
