  I have been successfully uploading and posting audio mp3 files for over 2 years as downloadable links but now every time I upload it immediately inserts an audio player into the post – I don’t want this. I want followers to have the option of either downloading the mp3 file or clicking on it and being taken to a separate page which has an audio player in it from where they can play it (stream it).

  Here’s an old post which is what I want:

  Here’s a new post (with audio player inserted into post) which is NOT what I want:

  I’ve read through the Adding Audio Files info page on WordPress Support and followed the instructions but it still doesn’t work.

  Please help thanks

  If you want to link to the file, rather than insert an audio player, you must create a link. First upload the audio in your Media Library. Once it’s uploaded, you can Edit it, and get the URL to link to.
