 * Please take 15 minutes to write some instructions and include them with the installation.
 * You say “files that are attached” to a post. How can you attach an MP3 to a post
   that your WP installation won’t let you upload because it’s too large? Using 
   the From URL tab in the media uploader doesn’t work — just creates a link to 
   the MP3 inside the post.
 * Using [audio] as a shortcode therefore nets no results.
 * Have become convinced that finding an HTML5 audio player that actually works 
   is like unto the quest for the Holy Grail. Whole lot of nonsense screaming “run
   away, run away!”

 * I echo peteratomic’s sentiment, except I have found out how to upload media files
   > 1MB – use a plugin called “Add From Server”. It ought to be possible to change
   the upload limit, but God knows how – there’s no WordPress setting I can find,
   and php.ini contains “upload_max_filesize = 128M”.
 * Anyway, I would like to see a simple example of how to insert an audio player
   into a page so that the viewer can play the MP3 but not download it, as on Amazon/
   iTunes etc. – please! I’m just a beginner/amateur at this game.
 * I’m getting frustrated with WordPress’s documentation generally – many of the
   posts requesting help are closed off prematurely with no conclusion. I reckon
   I’m fairly smart, but I’m having a real problem finding out how to do relatively
   simple things. When I find out, maybe I’ll write a document for dummies. Or maybe
   I’ll just move over to Serif WebPlus for dummies.
 * Sorry about the outburst,Scott, if it’s any consolation you’re not the only WordPress
   person in line for it!

 * Most default installations include a very small file size. If you are unable 
   to modify this file size limit, you could try using ftp to upload the files to
   a specific directory. There is a plug in called add from server that will allow
   you to browse to the upload directory and add those files into the media library.
