It's not the right link. You will need to find the actual link. I'm afraid I can't help you.

[audio http://greggsmith.co.za/video/tomthumb-audio/tomthumb.mp3] that should be clearer.

[audio http://greggsmith.co.za/video/tomthumb-audio/tomthumb.mp3%5D

thanks for your quick reply.
pls excuse my ignorance but i cannot see how to obtain the exact code of the mp3.
in the code of the page where the mp3 is located, it says: audio/tomthumb.mp3

however i am unsure how to add this to the page address, [audio http://greggsmith.co.za/video/tomthumb-audio/tomthumb.mp3%5D doesn't work on wordpress either.

thanks again..

That is the link to the page on which the file exists. You need the code that ends in .mp3 or it's not the URL of the mp3 itself.

http://greggsmith.co.za/video/tomthumb.html
it is an mp3 encoded at 44.1kHz.

Following your instructions I assume the short link should read as follows: [audio http://greggsmith.co.za/video/tomthumb.html%5D

but this doesn't work, it says buffering, endlessly

Please tell me how to correctly encode this link.

Thanks
