  I’m relocating my music page from MobileMe to wordpress.com. However, I now see that I can’t upload mp3 files of my own music. That means that there is no point in my recreating my site to a WP site. How do others manage to provide music sites on WordPress, then? Can this only be done on a wp.org site?

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

  Have you read the support documentation for 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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/

  To be able to upload audio files, you would need one of the space upgrades which allow uploading of additional file types.

  Alternately you can put the audio files on a file sharing service somewhere on the internet and then use the audio player here to play those files from within your blog.
