I'm not sure what's going on there. I understand that you have an older drop
box account which has a public folder. However, I've been given to
understand that they're blocking this sort of file on any user account. I'd
suggest trying it with another audio link if you have one to see if that
solves the problem. If not, then we can go from there in trying to figure
out what is going on. Also, give me a link to your direct post so I can see
if I see an audio player on my end as I won't be logged in. Also, this is
probably something we should best handle off list going forward so feel free
to contact me.

Hi Michael, Well, I tried the short code and just couldn't get it to work.
this is the code I entered into my post:
[audio
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2281930/WordPress/podcasts/LooktelMoneyReader.mp3]
I use that same url as a link field from within the post and it works, but
the audio short code doesn't seem to want to go, at least, I don't find the
audio player anywhere in my post, neither do I get any error messages when
uploading the post containing the short code from Mars edit.
Is there supposed to be a space between the short code and the url? That's
the only possible error I can think of - the url is correct and I enclosed
the whole thing in brackets [].
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Heyya Phil, saw your earlier message but was waiting on someone else to
answer you if they would.
Here's an article which will tell you exactly how to make what you're
wanting to happen, happen. Was wondering why you'd want to purchase an
upgrade to wordpress dot com. It'd almost be cheaper in the longrun to
install wordpress on your own self hosted site. None the less, sounds as
if you've figured it out. So, here goes link to article. BTW, I have used
this method before & it does work. Nolonger do as I've moved to self
hosted.

Well, I'm on my way to solving this problem on my own. Instead of placing
audio files on wordpress servers, it seems like a better idea to
incorporate a link to these files on dropbox from within my posts.
I checked out some other blogs from lists members, and that seems to be a
common method, and it saves the cost of a space upgrade on wordpress. I
have a pre-October 2012 dropbox account, so I have a public folder. The
context menu has the "copy public link" item and placing that link in a
html link or from the address bar in safari, IE10, and firefox cause it to
play as I wanted.
Now I just have to research creating links in posts using Marsedit - it'll
probably be a cakewalk.

how accessible this process would be? I know it requires a space upgrade

the cash.
Can you direct me to any information on the process, or tell me how it's
done?
thanks
