This plugin makes any mp3 links (in post or page or any other location in your blog) playable directly on your webpage. In addition, your visitors will have the opportunity to easily tag and post the mp3 link to del.icio.us. This script is extremely lightweight, as is the flash movie that plays on demand. Must-have for podcasters or anyone who wants to allow blog visitors to play mp3 files on the website itself.
If more than one file is clicked (for playing) on a single page, then the first one stops and the second file starts playing.
Like most of my WordPress plugins this is a zero-configuration plugin. It is so simple even your GrandMother can use it. Just activate it and forget. It simply works.
Compatibility
This plugin works with 1.5.x as well as WordPress 2.x. It is future-proof.
Usage
Activate the plugin following download and installation instructions below.
Then simply create hyperlinks (as many as you wish on any number of pages) to mp3 files in your post / page. Use full URL like https://www.hotname.com/blah.mp3 and not like /blah.mp3 for any hyperlink to a mp3 file. Any hyperlink to a mp3 file will be automatically playable on the page.

Chipmunk Effect
The Flash player has a problem playing files that are encoded at a rate that is not a multiple of 11.025 kHz. This effect is sometimes called the ???chipmunk??? effect: the file is played at double speed. To avoid this, encode MP3???s at 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz.
