  I am trying to upload a very short Demo of a song and every time I try it says File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another. Or something like that. But I have looked at all the guidelines, and it fits perfectly. Its an MP3 and it doesn’t exceed my maximum size. What exactly is going wrong?

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

  Working With Audio

  Note that, if you wish to upload audio files from your own computer, you will need to purchase the Space Upgrade. Please refer to our documentation on which specific audio files types can be uploaded to WordPress.com with this upgrade.

  The upload window tells you which types of files can be uploaded to your blog. On free blogs, that means images and documents.

  I get the same error with a .wav file and I have purchased the upgrade. The recording is of me reading my blog post.
