 * I’m a big fan of PageFrog – You’re doing a great job helping us through this 
   AMP new territory.
 * I’ve had it installed for a while and now have ~3k AMP pages being reported in
   Webmaster Tools.
 * One thing that throws an AMP validation error is mp3 files entered in to posts,
   that usually display the embedded audio player to play audio/podcasts.
 * I was wondering are you converting from audio tags to amp-audio [https://www.
   ampproject.org/docs/reference/extended/amp-audio.html]?
 * If so, could you let us know the best way to alter our posts 1) just use the 
   full path to the mp3, or 2) use the [audio] shortcode?

 * After some experimenting this morning, I’ve found:-
 * If you’re serving your audio from http, nor https, you cannot use the usual ‘
   just stick in the mp3’s URL/path in a post’.
 * To get it working you have to use [audio src="audio-source.mp3"] AND you have
   to put the URL/path to the audio audio file _without_ the http.
 * example
    [audio src="//example.com/audio/audio-source.mp3"] not [audio src="http://
   example.com/audio/audio-source.mp3"]
 * Hope this helps all of you who are on this AMP journey 🙂

 * Hi powcom,
 * I’m so sorry for the delayed response! Since AMP rolled out I’ve been receiving
   hundreds (maybe thousands!) of questions and emails. I’m doing my best to keep
   up!
 * AMP requires all files to be linked through a relative path or https. If you 
   use http and not https, AMP will throw an error.
 * For all the other readers here, if you have a plugin that’s stripping out the
   https from your file paths, then be sure to change that or disable it. AMP requires
   that all files be linked through https.
