  hello,
  wp audio player worked perfect for me but not since yesterday. this is the case is:
  my post includes a track using the audio player, and it worked. the next day, i’ve decided to exchange the track with a new one. i’ve deleted the old one and inserted the new one. since then the audio player keeps buffering and buffering.
  old and new posts are still working. (i’m using [audio:filename.mp3] syntax and mp3 title is spelled correct)
  what’s wrong?
  thanks a lot.

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

  If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

  No, that does not appear to be a blog hosted at WP.com. You need to be at WordPress.org.

  That’s because the URL you’ve used is a webpage, not an mp3. You need to upload your mp3s in a host that will give direct URLs: try Fileden or Getdropbox.
