Am I the only one still having problems with music files/mp3's, being turned into document files once they are uploaded to a profile? I have one site that is ELGG 1.5 and the other ELGG 1.6 and I am still having the same issue.
If you aren't having this problem, what music player are you using. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am also having similar problem. Although my music files uploaded display correctly as mp3 or music file but when I view the audio file that I uploaded it doesn't show the audio/mp3 player. The player is showing/working on the first 3 songs that are uploaded, but it fails to show on the succeeding audio upload. I tried disabling the zaudio, same thing happens. I'm using elgg 1.6.1.
Please help us.. thanks.
Had same problem a while back. Not all my mp3 files displayed the player. There is a fix that's not yet in 1.6.1. We installed it and it fixed our problem. Here's a link to the discussion. It may be of some help to you too.

It's a little messy cause there was quite a bit of discussion, but within those documents is the trac that gives the fix.
Ron,
Yeah, you were right. It was a mess to follow but I did. I downloaded the mpg.php file and put it in "zaudio/views/default/file/specialcontent/audio/mpg.php."
Then a little further down, Kevin Jardine mentioned something about "running upgrade.php after that to add that file to your view cache" and I have no idea how to do that!
Thanks for the help,
Tami
why ain't y'all using aaudio ?? workz whooperz for me and a quite a few other muzos....
I uploaded aaudio and then attempted to upload an .mp3. It WORKED! I'll wait and see if it lasts!
Thanks dhrup.
Is this a 1.6.1 fix?
I like using standard elgg plugins, like zaudio, rather than 3rd party plugins, like aaudio, simply because I "hope" they will be more compatible, more quickly with any elgg upgrade. I've seen here, more than once, that 3rd party plugins sometimes are not supported by the developers and I don't want to get stuck not being able to upgrade in the future - either having to wait till the 3rd party catches up, or possibly never catches up. Just my prerfereance - that's why I chose to stick with zaudio. That said, I think I will give aaudio a look just cause Dhrup recommended it.

You simply execute www.yourelggsite.com/upgrade.php. This is something you should do each time you make an upgrade of any kind.
It's also his plugin, he has many good ones floating around, and I sure they are compatible with out much upgrading needed.
Using aaudio worked when I uploaded one mp3 last night. But when I tried tonight, I got the same problem. The music file showed up as a document. So I guess I am back to square one. I don't know if it is different mp3's or what.
Ron,
Thanks for the upgrade.php info. I kinda figured that is what it was. I did that but nothing changed. I guess I will have to read through the fix again and see what I find.
Thanks you guys (ron, dhrup) for taking time to help us. I tried the suggestions above.. didn't work. I used aaudio... still, the player is not showing up with the audio file.
try an mp3 file under 5 mg and then one over 5 mg, see what happens, if the one under 5mg shes up then its its a configuration issue in your .htacess file or your php.info or both. Also insure insure safe mode is turned off on your php config on your host
