    Audio file is uploaded and on google chrome appears as the play triangle. In other browsers, appears as the word “download” which I fear will inhibit people from listening to the audio. When I click on the word “download” in internet explore or on my android phone, I still have the option to play the file without downloading but I would prefer for the play button (sideways triangle) to appear. Using a .wav file and it is uploaded directly to the website as a media library file. Can anyone help me figure out how to get rid of the word “download” on the audio file play bar?

    First time – trying to embed an interview file in my blog (attempting a podcast type post)

    No – I just uploaded in the media library and it said to just click the “embed in post” so that’s what I did.
    On the dashboard posting page, it looks like a regular link and in google, it appears as the black bar with the play triangle. But when I search on my android or using internet explorer, it is a black bar with the word “download” in white where the play triangle was in google. When I click on the word download, I do get the option to download or play the file and when I hit play, it does work. I just don’t want visitors to the site thinking they have to download in order to hear the file. Make sense? thanks for helping – I will check back in the morning for any other info.
