  I’m adding MP3s in the player on a page and the player just keeps reading “File not found”

  What am I doing wrong?

  I am inserting:

  [audio http://blahblah.mp3%5D

  Is that correct? I have copied and pasted the URL from the MP3 file after “audio” and a space within brackets.

  Ideas?

  Depends where the MP3 is hosted. Can you give us the proper link?

  At:

  I have done:

  [audio http://inearnestexpectation.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/the-satisfaction-of-encountering-the-joyful-heart-of-god.mp3%5D

  You can see it near the top of the page.

  I right clicked on the file itself which has been uploaded to the page (above the player) and clicked on “properties.” I found the URL to be:

  [audio src="http://inearnestexpectation.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/the-satisfaction-of-encountering-the-joyful-heart-of-god.mp3" /]

  Then I added that after “Audio”

  I’m afraid I’m out of suggestions. It works just fine for me. Have you made sure the link to the file is not operative (by that I mean it’s not live, like a regular link would be, not underlined)?
