most of the mp3 players want you to put your files in media manager /images/stories  However whenever I try to upload them it says the file type is not supported. What do i need to do?

In your favorite editor (preferabbly one with line numbers displayed), open up /administrator/components/com_media/admin.media.php

From lines 177-194 it should look like this:

Code:
         'bmp',
         'csv',
         'doc',
         'epg',
         'gif',
         'ico',
         'jpg',
         'odg',
         'odp',
         'ods',
         'odt',
         'pdf',
         'png',
         'ppt',
         'swf',
         'txt',
         'xcf',
         'xls'


To add aditional filetypes, just add a comma after the last entry and in quotes put the extension. Here's the code for mp3 support:

Code:
         'bmp',
         'csv',
         'doc',
         'epg',
         'gif',
         'ico',
         'jpg',
         'odg',
         'odp',
         'ods',
         'odt',
         'pdf',
         'png',
         'ppt',
         'swf',
         'txt',
         'xcf',
         'xls',
                        'mp3'

I followed all of these instructions to the letter.  I downloaded the admin.media.php file, edited the file, and then uploaded it.  I started a new browser window, logged-in as administrator, went to Media Manager, tried to upload a mp3 file and instead of getting the error,

This file type is not supported

I get this error instead,

Upload FAILED

Just to be sure that Joomla was working right I tried uploading some other files.  I uploaded a gif, png and a jpg with no problem at all.  Nothing seems to work. It seem to have kind-of worked except I still can't upload a file.

I can upload the mp3 files with FileZilla with no problem but the people who will be using the website are regular people, not computer geeks like me.  I need to find an answer for this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How big was the mp3 file, the file size limits still apply. Even if it is under the limit, if you try to upload a file big enough to cause a timeout (especially in firefox), it will cause the upload to fail.

Successful upload of large mp3 file to Joomla Media Manager.

After reading through every post in thread after thread I found the answer here:

Topic: Help Needed - Can't Upload m4a,mp3 files to Media Manager
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,88098.0.html

I do not know if this will work for everyone. My Joomla files are in the root directory and my Web Server is Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) PHP/4.4.2

First I added these lines to my .htaccess file
Code:
php_value memory_limit 32M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
php_value max_execution_time  800


Then I edited /administrator/components/com_media/admin.media.php and added support for mp3
Code:
$allowable = array (
'bmp',
'csv',
'doc',
'epg',
'gif',
'ico',
'jpg',
'odg',
'odp',
'ods',
'odt',
'pdf',
'png',
'ppt',
'swf',
'txt',
'xcf',
'xls',
'mp3'


I was able to upload a 12MB mp3 file to the Joomla Media Manager and link to it from a news item.

You know, I did all the above, too, as far as adding the .mp3 extension, but I still get an error of "File type not supported."  It's showing when I view the source, but still not uploading correctly.  It's only me that's using it, so it's not imperative to have to use Media Manager, since I can upload it directly, but it is a pain in the butt.  Am I missing something?

Is your server using Microsoft or Unix/Linux?  My server is Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) PHP/4.4.2

That may be the difference.

I've got a Linux server...still looking into this, but it should be working, and it's not.  Frustrating.

Are you using a high speed connection or dial-up with a modem? If you have a slow connection try increasing the execution time.
Code:
php_value max_execution_time  1600
