Heyya Phil, saw your earlier message but was waiting on someone else to
answer you if they would.
Here's an article which will tell you exactly how to make what you're
wanting to happen, happen. Was wondering why you'd want to purchase an
upgrade to wordpress dot com. It'd almost be cheaper in the longrun to
install wordpress on your own self hosted site. None the less, sounds as if
you've figured it out. So, here goes link to article. BTW, I have used this
method before & it does work. Nolonger do as I've moved to self hosted.

Subject: Re: Blogging in wordpress.com with safari
Well, I'm on my way to solving this problem on my own. Instead of placing
audio files on wordpress servers, it seems like a better idea to incorporate
a link to these files on dropbox from within my posts.
I checked out some other blogs from lists members, and that seems to be a
common method, and it saves the cost of a space upgrade on wordpress. I have
a pre-October 2012 dropbox account, so I have a public folder. The context
menu has the "copy public link" item and placing that link in a html link or
from the address bar in safari, IE10, and firefox cause it to play as I
wanted.
Now I just have to research creating links in posts using Marsedit - it'll
probably be a cakewalk.

I want to be able to upload .mp3 files to my wordpress.com blog and link

accessible this process would be? I know it requires a space upgrade on my
part, and want to know If I can do what I want before shelling out the
cash.
Can you direct me to any information on the process, or tell me how it's
done?
thanks
