    This was a weird one.

    When I create a new website, I use software that copies a template WordPress website. The template website must have had Wishlist Member installed on it at some stage because there’s a file:
    /home/bvat/public_html/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess

    That contained:
    # BEGIN WishList Member Attachment Protection
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|pdf|bmp|css|js)$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?wlmfile=$1 [L]
    # END WishList Member Attachment Protection
    # Kill PHP Execution
    <Files *.php>
    deny from all
    </Files>

    We changed the RewriteCond line to:
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|pdf|bmp|css|js|mp3)$

    and mp3s started working again. I guess removing /home/bvat/public_html/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess would also work.

    I still have no idea why mp3s were working a couple of weeks ago and suddenly stopped.
