Linking to MP3 after upgrade
-
According to the FAQ:
“2. Buy the Space Upgrade. This allows you to upload mp3, ogg, wav, m4a, mov, wmv, avi, and mpg files to your blog and play them too.”
Ok, I did that. I bought the upgrade. Now, I’m trying to link to the MP3 I just uploaded. I did this:
[audio name-of-file-mp3]
A little audio player came up, but no song played. It just said “buffering”…and nothing happened.
Question: IF the MP3 is here on wordpress.com somewhere…what URL do I need to put in there. What IS the URL of the MP3 I just uploaded?
-
I suppose it will be something like:
http://nameofyourblog.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/nameoffile.mp3
as for pictures. Did you try to look under “Manage” > “Uploads”? -
I figured out the URL but it still didn’t work.
I then tried to to link to a musicwebtown file using the same method and that ended up the same: endless buffering.
I looked through all the questions/responses on this issue and I don’t think this is going to be very easy to do. Better to skip it.

I am having the exact same problem. If I link directly to the file, it works fine, but using [audio http://filelocation/file.mp3%5D results in endless buffering.

I’m doing this:
[audio http://myscratchingpost.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/boney-m-ma-baker.mp3%5D
It doesn’t work. Endless buffering.
It’s kind of annoying because I paid for the upgrade in order to do this.

The problem is that, just as here, the link is a clickable one. You have to put your cursor on it and click on the “unlink” icon before it will work, otherwise the commands sort of cancel each other out.
-
Remember to include that code for the audio link on the Code Tab and not the Visual Editor.

I think this must be browser-specific, because I never do that. I didn’t do that just now when I tested the Boney M audio. And it worked just fine.

This is a big problem of mine, so I’m far from expert, but back when I was able to get them to work, the big difference was an = sign between audio and http, as in:
[audio=http://myscratchingpost.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/boney-m-ma-baker.mp3]
