 * I am uploading 13 MP3’s, and 11 of them upload just fine. 2 of them don’t, and
   I get the following error message:
 * “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.”
 * None of them are over the maximum file limit or anything…anyone know how to get
   around this error?

 * if you’re loading them all at the same time then the total MB might be over the
   max upload limit. have you tried uploading then in smaller groups, say 4 at a
   time?

 * I’ve tried uploading them 1 at a time, still get the same message. I thought 
   maybe it was a bad file or something, but it plays fine in my media player.

 * do you have a lot of content on your site?if so you may have maxed out the storage
   on the server that your hosting account is allowed?

 * No, not even close:
 * “999,999.00 MB quota limit (2,079.36 MB used)”

 * hmm… it’s probably a corrupt file then. take a look at this: [http://mp3.about.com/od/tutorials/ht/Repair-MP3-Files.htm](http://mp3.about.com/od/tutorials/ht/Repair-MP3-Files.htm)
   it might help

 * Still no luck. I do get this message when I upload via “New > Media”

 * ok, let’s head back to basics: what version of wordpress are you using, what 
   plugins (active and inactive) have you got on the site and what theme are you
   using?

 * most of them look ok, well updated etc. the socialise plugin is a little out 
   of date, i’d recommend changing it for something more current like the shareaholic
   one. lots of features and regularly maintained.
 * try using an ftp program or the server’s cpanel file manager to see if you can
   manually upload the files to the uploads folder.
