# [Plugin: Shadowbox JS] mp3 not playing

 * Hi, I’m trying to get an mp3 file to play in wp. Yours is the only plugin activated.
   Here’s the url for my site:
 * yalecitationstest.net23.net
 * The problem might lie with the awkwardly hacked together theme (actually 2 themes
   that I stitched together with my limited knowledge of html, css, and php).
 * Kindly excuse any head-smackingly obvious errors that prevent a neophyte such
   as myself from properly coding a functional website.
 * Best,
 * Tom

 * ah, probably I should have linked you directly to the problematic page itself,
   rather than making you hunt through the website:
 * [http://yalecitationstest.net23.net/?page_id=19](http://yalecitationstest.net23.net/?page_id=19)
 * Issue is the only hyperlinked item in the list of titles.
 * thanks,

 * You need to enable the FLV player before you can play MP3s, and as such it needs
   to be played through the flv player.

 * Thanks for the prompt reply.
 * I checked, and FLV had already been enabled. I specified FLV in the rel tag:
 * > rel=”shadowbox;player=flv”
 * but this had no effect. Any other thoughts?

 * kindly ignore for now. I need to rebuild the website from scratch, so this has
   been pushed to the back burner. Thanks for the help.
