   The default code is not working for me:

   [audio:your_mp3_file.mp3]

   All my links are in this format.

   But all my mp3 files are on another server, I trying add the 'format' tag but does not work.

   How can I fix it?

   Thanks.

   The shortcode format to use is a bit different. Check the documentation at http://soukie.net/degradable-html5-audio-and-video-plugin/

   In your case, it should be [audio src="http://myserver.com/mysong" format="mp3"].

   a lot of people use the WP audio player plugin (as we do) with its old-fashioned (pre-shortcode) syntax, so it would help people to switch to this plugin if there was a 'compatibility mode'

   I'm hoping the blog authors will let me switch to your plugin, but to do that would take a bit of magic to go back and update all our audio embed codes. there's a couple of global search and replace plugins i know could do this, but until everyone is happy with the switch, I don't want to make those changes.

   so instead I've added this extra code after your "extract( shortcode_atts ..." line (at about line 56)

   # get audio player attributes
   	if ($src=="" && $atts[0]!="")
   	{	$src=trim($atts[0],": \t");
   		$src=explode("|",$src);
   		$src=$src[0];				# just parse out the src for now. other params like Titles= could be used in a later version
   	}

   (I have another plugin that makes your autodetect fail, so added a $format="mp3" in there too)

   hope this helps

   That looks like a very good workaround! Mind if I use that in the next version, together with adding the default "mp3" (I think we can safely assume that any 'legacy' shortcodes in the [audio:your_mp3_file.mp3] syntax mp3 (well, I can actually sniff the extension because it is included there).
