That's going to be tough.... I switched off that to a hosted solution for that very same reason. I guess it hasn't changedQuote:

Where are you hosting your podcast files?
Powerpress is an amazing plugin. There are endless supplies of options and is really great. You should give it a try!!Quote:

Andrewzarian. Thanks for your advice. I have considered that but right now I do not have the funding to be able to do that. I have been hosting my files with Spreaker. I was considering to start a YouTube page in order to become a partner over time and use the funds to be able to buy a website domain and space for my files.
Nothing wrong with using a free service. You gotta start somewhere. Personally I prefer to host my own files. The main reason being that I have total control over the file since not every service allows you to easily upload/replace a file with a new one.
Looking at Spreaker's help section, it looks like you can simply embed their player using an iframe. This should work perfectly fine with Wordpress.com. Because you are embedding an iframe, the flash player is actually hosted by Spreaker and shouldn't conflict with Wordpress.com.
Really? I didn't know that. Thanks sunkast.
To get an audio player you can just use a simple HTML5 audio tag with the files location. If you don't care about a player just put it as a link and feed burner or the rss feed that the site generates will pick it up.
If you want to see how it looks check out one of my podcasts that I host on Blogger. Top of the side bar has 3 HTML5 audio players.
