  Hi,

  I’m thinking of getting a space upgrade to upload mp3 files. I’m trying to find info if will this allow me to also use this Audio Player plugin?

  The space upgrade gives you extra space plus allows you to upload some extra file types – nothing to do with plugins. And plugins cannot be used in wp.com blogs anyway.

  But the WP audio player is already available to you via a shortcode. You type this in the html post or page editor:
  [audio URL OF PM3 HERE]

  You can even use it without getting the space upgrade (you can upoad your mp3s elsewhere).

  Great answer, thanks!

  One more then, is there a free file hosting site I can upload mp3s to which will work with the WP audio player? (I assume yousendit and most others wont because of the click-through screens)

  You’re welcome. A free site that gives direct URLs is Fileden.
