   Warriors,

   I upload podpress correctly everything is good, i get the drop-down menu, and it tells me the size and duration of my audio file. HOWEVER, it won't play my audio. It just says buffering.

   I upload my audio files on box.net, do I need change the URL of media files directory in podpress settings? Does that have anything to do with my problem? Or am I missing something?

   Please help. THANK YOU in advance!

   You could try testing it with an audio file from Archive.org since those are free to post, for example
   http://www.archive.org/download/tlg2008-09-03.flac/tlg2008-09-03s2t07_vbr.mp3

   Try it on another computer / internet connection, just to be sure there's not something blocking it within your system.

   just a couple ideas to maybe help diagnose this

   I'm trying to think of what it can be. Right now I don't know. I guess the above tests told us your mp3 file isn't the problem, your server isn't the problem if you tried serving the mp3 from the domain I gave above, and your computer/connection isn't the problem.

   This isn't just super fun, but I guess you could try installing another plugin, this one,
   http://wpaudioplayer.com/

   It is pretty much the same audio player that is found in PodPress, but it doesn't have all the other features PodPress has, and it has different instructions for telling the player which audio file (doesn't have the drop-down menu thing).

   I'm not saying switch to it (I prefer PodPress), but maybe install it and throw an mp3 in it, and see if you still get the same buffer problem. If you do, then the problem is not in PodPress per-se, but possibly in the Flash player or somthing else. If you don't get the problem then, you'd at least have a way to put mp3 on the site for now, and you would suspect that the problem is in PodPress code.

   I'm using this plugin right now and it's working just fine. I have no idea what the problem is with podpress!

   Thanks for your help anyways.. I really appreciate it
