]]>I can also confirm this happening on another install: 4.9.6.2.
I want to add that uploaded MP3 files, while being stripped of cover artwork, still work and can be downloaded. HOWEVER… they are no longer the original files we’ve uploaded, and the fact that WP “creates” a corrupted media file leaves users open to all sorts of vulnerabilities.
Help!

]]>There’s actually no bug report; the only signs anything is wrong is in the media upload tab. I can try to post a picture if that helps?

]]>For those who are using Blubrry Podcast hosting with PowerPress, you will not encounter this issue since you are uploading media to Blubrry’s infrastructure, not within WordPress.
I would warn against hosting your media on the same server as your website. Podcast media files are very large and tied to the fact that they are delivered based on a scheduled time, you may observe site loading performance issues when new episodes are released. This is because most web hosting companies are not designed to serve large files (that job is usually left to a content delivery network), instead they are optimized to serve web pages, text css/js files and images. For a podcast that is just starting out or that doesn’t plan on having a large audience, you can most likely get away with hosting media on the same server, but if you do find the need to move your media off your server, we have simple click and go migration tools built into PowerPress so you can quickly switch to our media hosting service.
