Sigrid:

did you get it to work?

we post mp3s to our blog all the time. It is the home of our podcast;
www.mediastoogespro.com.

all you need to do is:
1 type the text that you want to be the link to the mp3: the filename
or whatever. This is in the main text (post) window.

2 highlight that text.

3 click the link icon.

4 enter the EXACT url where the mp3 is hosted.

5 send the post...

that's it.

Jay
