Music filetype?

January 28, 2007 5:26 PM

When I try and upload Pendulem.mp3 file size 4,191 KB this is what I get in return. Help what am I doing wrong?

The MIME type of the uploaded file "audio/mp3" was not accepted by the server.

Only files of type "audio/mpeg, audio/mpg, audio/x-mpeg, audio/mpeg3, audio/x-mp3" can be uploaded.
Verify that you are uploading a file of the appropriate type.

Matt and/or Jess, you may want to remove his IP address from the post (and possibly bring it all inside).

You forgot to include your social security number and bank account number(s).

It was then that Jimmyrnr became acquainted with the beast that was MetaTalk. I hope you have your vorpal wit handy.

Warning! Your MetaTalk post is broadcasting an IP address!

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I've never been able to get uploads to MetaFilter Music to work when using a Mozilla browser. IE might do the trick for you (God, I feel dirty typing that).

Although to answer the question, you could try the steps detailed here.

It's fixed now, Your browser has a mime type for mp3 that is different than the 6 others I already have for the mp3 file format, but it should work now.
