# Adding self hosted audio file to article?

 * Adding video content from the WP media library to an article produces a shortcode
   like `[video src="734"]` and leads to a video presentation on the website as 
   expected.
 * When I try the same with audio (e.g. mp3, mediaelementjs as player) I end up 
   with a WP standard link that’s not wanted. Adding shortcode `[audio src="123"]`
   manually seems to do something in the right direction, but leads to a “dead” 
   operating system standard player (“OS X”, “QuickTime” in my case) on the website–
   clickable, but without any function. I tried various media and media file settings,
   but with no avail.
 * Did anyone make it to a playing audio file using this plugin? If so, what settings
   and workflow did you use to bring up your results?
 * I’m looking for a neat, simple media player plugin for self hosted media files
   managed by the WP media library, making integration of media content via mouse
   click (without typing cryptic shortcodes) reality. “1player” is near to this 
   and it would be glad to see it fully functional…
