Just a random thought…. I experienced this problem, for the first time today, and had never run into it (buffering forever, and no playback). I was using a free theme called Esplanade. I switched themes and it worked. I think someone near the top of this thread had mentioned a theme issue.

Anyway, it’s obvious that there is some code issue with certain themes that prevent this from working (I’ve got a lot of WordPress sites and had never seen this before)….

You’ll have to get up early in the morning to make as many knuckleheaded errors as me….. Glad you got it fixed.

AHH! I told you – in a WMU setup there is a setting for that…

I failed to see your PHP info page link…. Stupid question: how big is your MP3…? Is it larger than 64 megabye?

Man – that’s weird….. I know of no settings in WordPress where you set that sort of limit – except in a Multi Site setup. Is this a WordPress Multi Site set up….? And I install WordPress almost every day – dead serious. I actually have about 40 live sites and I’m always testiing things, deleting things, etc.

What version of WordPress are you using?

I could be wrong, but unless you’re using a WordPress Multi Site set up (which I feel certain is not the case) I don’t believe there is any sort of file size upload limit set via WordPress. With multi-site setups, as I recall, there is an option to set such a limit.

Again – I may be wrong – but that sounds like a limitation set in your php.ini file. If that’s the case, you would need to find post_max_size and upload_max_filesize and set them to some reasonable limit. All of this presumes you’re hosting this yourself. If you’re not, you need to contact your web host to see what’s going on…. If you can’t upload an MP3, it’s set to something very low.

Finally – maybe I’m wrong. But I have about 45 WordPress sites and I do not recall ever seeing such a setting, nor, having to adjust anything of this kind. Again, it’s based upon the web server’s PHP configuration.
