Trying this with Firefox. If this works Chrome will not work Forum. My original post is below..

Audio Player is reading tags of the few files that are stored on same server, but I have had to store most of my sermon MP3s on an external server because of space concerns. I have Audio Player "enabled" to check for policy files, crossdomain.xml on server with files, but still cannot read ID3 tags on the external location. The ID3 tags are there because WMP displays them.
Now to what I am trying. Since I can't get Audio Player to scroll ID3 tags for all the files I found out that Audio Player will do this…
audio:your_mp3_file.mp3|titles=The title|artists=The artist
EDIT – Removed [] brackets because it created player even with "code tags".
As you might think [sermon_title] etc. tags will not work in frontend.php or inside [audio] tag.
Searching through frontend.php I have tried variables…
EDIT – Removed [] brackets because it created player even with "code tags".
Is there a variable that will get this to work that I haven't found?
Is there a way presently to get this to work? If not could this be an option for situations that Audio Player will just not read the ID3 tags in a future release?
Second, make sure that you are using ID3v2 tags. v2 tags are stored at the beginning of the file, and v1 tags are stored at the end. If you don't have v2 tags, the player won't have the information until the entire file is downloaded.
Finally, if you are still having trouble, you might want to try the Audio Player plugin forum and see if anyone there knows why your crossdomain.xml file isn't working: http://wordpress.org/tags/audio-player
Please let us know if you figure out what's going on.
Here's one more thing for you to check:
Under Setting, Audio Player, Advanced, there is a checkbox called "Check for policy file." It is unchecked by default. Make sure you've got it checked if you are still having problems reading ID3 tags from your .mp3 files hosted on a remote server.
I'm using Audio Player 2.0.4.1 plugin, so if you are using a different version you might find this checkbox somewhere else.

I am reading this thread with keen interest since our sermons are hosted on-site and audio player has NEVER displayed scrolled any file information. I do have the MP3s in non-SB standard directories (they are organized by year), so I use URLs to the files instead of a relative path – maybe that's it?
