 * Hi everyone
    I’m having trouble playing audio files. I’ve recently added the 
   SC player which works fine on certain older files but not on others including
   recently uploaded files. The audio also does not play with the standard WordPress
   audio player.
 * I’ve made a test page here to demonstrate:
    [http://www.mattcowe.com/wordpress/?page_id=727&#8243](http://www.mattcowe.com/wordpress/?page_id=727&#8243);
 * I’m also using another MP3 player which works fine here:
    [http://www.mattcowe.com/wordpress/?page_id=35](http://www.mattcowe.com/wordpress/?page_id=35)
 * I recently added “Easy Digital Downloads” Plug In, The seems to have started 
   since then, although I’m not sure of that. I’ve disabled all unused plugins.
   
   Any ideas anyone?
 * I’m using a mac os10.9.1 with Safari

 * Go to Downloads > Settings > Misc and set the “Download Method” to “Redirect”.
   Does that fix it?

 * “The files here are playing fine for me”
 * It’s weird then – something to do with my setup here I suppose…
