The FAQ page on music purports to provide a method of causing a little music player thingie to appear in a page -- but it isn't working for me. Check out http://midiguru.wordpress.com/my-music/. All that happens is that the text inside the [audio] block is a link. That's okay, but (a) it's ugly, and (b) it's not what the FAQ says is supposed to happen.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this?
Also, is there a sexier Flash Player plug-in I could use instead?

Interesting. I couldn't get it to work with your exact code, either. Maybe there is a problem with the player. Try sending a support request in.
No, there is not another player available. And we can't use plug-ins here. (Plus flash is not allowed, either.)
Are you in HTML mode when you insert the [audio] command? If you're in visual mode it probably is just putting text in your post.
Did you just correct it? Your players show and function ok now that I visited your post (on a Mac, with both Firefox & Safari).
By the way, some of us have been using the audio player with no problems whatsoever: "isn't working for me" does not so readily translate into "purports to".
I also use one on my site. I can click and play your tracks in IE7-- hopefully no more problems on your end?

Hi,
I have the same problem with the [audio] shortcode. I try using it on a text widget but the player that is supposed to appear won't show. Would you help me out?
Many thanks in advance! :)
It does not work in a text widget.
