   If I follow the format [audio: http://www.mysite.com/audio/filename.mp3, sometimes it will play and sometimes it gives a file not found. But if I make any update to the post (not the audio entry, but the post text), I'll get a File Not Found from then on.

   I've tried uploading via the control panel, entering the URL manually, and anything else I can think of. Either something's wrong with the plugin or it doesn't like my theme (Lightword 1.5.5).

   Any help is appreciated!

   Found a solution: manually enter the form [audio: http://www.mysite.com/audio/filename.mp3 in HTML mode, not in Visual mode. The latter adds a ton of code that screws up the player.

   This shouldn't happen. I have never had any trouble using the [audio] code in the visual editor. Maybe you have installed another plugin that is causing a conflict. Can you show me what you get when you use the visual editor?

   I have the exact same problem, and Steve's solution also works for me.
   My audio folder path is properly defined and verified in the plugin settings.

   At first I thought it was a permissions issue. My Audio folder was set to 705 and when I uploaded new mp3 files to the audio folder, they would receive CHMOD 664.
   I switched all permissions to 777 but that did not fix the 'file not found' problem. But using the full url does.

   Here's a page on my site which demonstrates this:
   http://www.charlesparente.com/audio-player-problems/

   The visual editor does not add any extra code at all for me.

   Here's the code created when using the full file path:

   <p>[audio:http://www.charlesparente.com/audio/Instrumentalmontage4_samplecpdotcom.mp3]</p>

   Here's the code created when using just the file name:

   <p>[audio:Instrumentalmontage4_samplecpdotcom.mp3]</p>

   Thanks,
   Charles

   The problem here is that your wordpress files are in a a subfolder called wordpress so the player is looking for the mp3 files in http://www.charlesparente.com/wordpress/audio/

   To fix this, you have 2 solutions:

   1: move the audio folder under the wordpress folder

   2: go to the Audio Player options panel in your WordPress admin and set the default audio folder location to custom and enter http://www.charlesparente.com/audio

   Let me know if this works.
