 * whenever i upload audio files of more than 8mb ,wordpress will prompt a too big
   file size and i cannot continue to upload the audio file.
    But the default setting
   of wordpress is 20mb . So why i cant upload an audio file of more than 8mb.

 * Why don’t you just upload via FTP?

 * Done that but after uploading ,the uploaded audio file is not listed inside or
   appeared inside the **WordPress media library**. Which mean i can’t post the 
   audio file to my website.
    Thanks

 * Both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size control how big a file you can upload.
   The smaller wins. WordPress doesn’t tell you about post_max_size (it’s a minor
   oversight that will be fixed eventually).
 * You’ll have to ask your web host how to increase both of those values to let 
   you upload bigger files.

 * Interesting.I gave up on media uploading- the file transferred from my end but
   didn’t end in the media library, so I ftp’d it and made a link. It WAS over 8M
   so perhaps was the same problem. (WP 2.5)
