Points to note:
a) The files need to be mp3s, not m4as.
b) You don't need the space upgrade to post audio: you can upload the files to a free file hosting site that provides direct URLs (for example Fileden or Kiwi6).

I am VERY new to blogging. I am trying to upload some audio from my Kindle Fire HD. It saves as an mp4 file. The post on my blog won't accept it. Someone else on the forum told me to upgrade my space and I did, but it didn't help. Can anyone tell me how to post an audio file on my blog site. I need very simple instructions. Thanks!

However, when I hit "Choose Songs," choose an audio selection, and hit "Insert Playlist into Post," nothing shows up in the "Music Player" box.

The only way I can get an audio file to show up in the sidebar is to use the Text widget.

You've probably been using URLs like this:
http://audioboo.fm/boos/991815-numero-de-telefono
That's not an mp3 URL, it's the URL of a webpage. The right URL in Audioboo's case is this:

I used to be able to use [ audio ] with the link to the audioboo page inside in my posts. A little grey audio player would appear on the page. Here is an example:

I just tried posting audio in my most recent post with the same results.

The audio player needs the URL of an mp3, so the mp3 must be uploaded somewhere. That somewhere can be your blog, but it doesn't have to be your blog: you can upload your mp3s in a free file-hosting site that gives direct URLs. Suggested sites: Fileden and Kiwi6.

Thanks so much. You're terrific.

What you can upload and what works in a post aren't the same. For instance, you can upload a PDF or a Word doc but you can't insert them in a post, you can only link to them so that others can open them or download them. Same way, if you have the Space Upgrade you can upload m4a files, but the audio player can process mp3 files only: that's a limitation of the current WP audio player. (And the WP Support doc on audio is confusing, to put it mildly. Are you aware of the fact that you don't even need the Space Upgrade to insert audio?)

When you add media, one of the allowed file types is m4a. I don't understand why the audio player doesn't work with an allowed file type.

Anyway, thank you so much for your patience and your help.

Note that again you gave the URL of a dashboard page. The URL that others can access is this:
http://pclaphil.org/2012/05/19/glittering-memories-of-grand-salon-2012/

Your file will never work because it's an mp4: the audio player works with mp3s only.

I am producing a podcast and hosting it on WordPress for now. I need to submit an RSS feed to iTunes to get listed, but I don't know if I can just submit a tag or category RSS feed of my blog and if that will qualify or work. Otherwise, how would I get the audio files hosted on WordPress onto an RSS feed?

Very very roughly, one minute in acceptable quality would be about 1MB, so 1GB is room enough for mp3s that last a total of about 1000 minutes or 16 hours.
