ok, spent a night debugging the javascript – theres some pretty cool stuff in there (including abit i havent seen before (prototyping) ) but i never got the bottom of why this never worked in IE8 correctly.

i ended up building my own simple audio player plugin based on jplayer… i may release this at some point, if there is any interest.

so theres various problems here…

while its working in firefox/chrome, i’m still getting javascript errors in IE8…

at this point i’ll probably have to work on a different solution… pity!

too be clear – the author wasnt lying. i’ve looked at the code, and it is indeed attempting to use HTML5 audio… BUT, if it fails, it falls back to Sound Manager 2, which has a flash engine…

hrrm. the error i fixed related to a javascript error. my links started working automatically as soon as i fixed it. i’m using WP 3.1.1…

at this point all i can suggest is to look at your html source and make sure:
1) jquery is being loaded (should be at the top, in the ‘head’ somewhere)
2) wpaudio.min.js is being loaded (should be at the bottom, just above the ‘body’ tag)

i’m afraid theres not much else i can do without looking at your setups directly, sorry!

i’ve worked out the fix for this. (i’d fork it on git, but there’s no repo for it?)

this is an easy fix, but it requires you to feel comfortable to edit some code:

open the javascript file here:
/wp-content/plugins/wpaudio-mp3-player/wpaudio.min.js

search for:
href$

directly after it you should replace:
.mp3
with:
mp3

(remove the dot…)

save it, reload your blog and it should all be good. (you may need to purge your cache if your using IE)

cheers to Todd for a great plugin!
