Admin CP > Attachments > Attachment Storage Type. If 'Move Items to a Different Directory' is checked it means your files are stored in the database, you need to check 'Move Items from File System into Database' to move them into the file system.

Another common problem for it not playing is an incorrect path in the template, make sure this matches your site structure exactly:

[MEDIA]http://www.yoursite.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid].mp3[/MEDIA]

So from looking at your site in your profile it would belike this: (note, ++ is there because the language filter on this site doesn't like it, but you get the idea)

[MEDIA]http://www.gob++++es.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid].mp3[/MEDIA]

many thanks for the prompt reply mate...working fine now.
i DID have the paths correct, but for some strange reason, the wrong attachment reference was coming up when i cut n pasted the url into the post.

that sounds wrong in itself....lol
anyways, its working fine now..again, many thanks.
