   I keep dutifully upgrading this plug in in my blog plug in section and now have ver 2.0.3.1 loaded in the plugin directory. I wanted to add a player to a new page and want to make sure that the process that I use is the same as the older versions.

   Now I am reading that users should download the plugin zip to their hard drive and then upload the new files to their wp blog directory. In addition we are supposed to delete the audioplayer.php file?

   I can tell you *I am very confused.* If this is supposed to be a plugin, then why am I doing file management on the web server still? What if I delete all the stuff in the audio player directory and then the older posts I have with players in them will not work any more?

   Is there still a restriction for the files being multiples of 22,000hz? I can't find that information now but remember how hard it was to finally get an audio cut up on the blog.

   If I don't make any changes and just add the player the old way, will it still work? Or crash my blog?

   Thanks for any help you can provide.

   Ok, I answered my own question. I just added a new .mp3 to my audio directory in my blog directory on the server and then added the same syntax (just changing the .mp3 file name to the new cut) I have used many times before to the post. Without changing anything with settings or files for the audio player, it worked the same as before, but with the newest version.

   I don't attempt to upload any .mp3's via the blog file uploader, the server times out because the file sizes are too big. Uploading it with a file manager directly to the "audio" directory (directly underneath my_blog) will allow much larger file sizes.

   The installation instructions are for manual installation which lamost nobody does now because the latest version of WordPress has an automatic installer.
