It appears that the file on the page that isn't working isn't on the server.
If I browse to http://whirlwindpublishing.com/music2/10 - Track 10.mp3 I
get a 404 Not Found Page - The requested URL /music2/10 - Track 10.mp3 was
not found on this server.

Did you publish all the music files? Also, as a tip, you shouldn't use
spaces in file names or folder names as they can cause unexpected problems.
 
Changing the file name won't affect the file. You could just add
underscores where the spaces are. It avoids all that %20 junk when the
browser tries to read the file name. Ex:

http://whirlwindpublishing.com/music2/10 - Track 10.mp3

Internet Explorer is pretty forgiving but all those spaces (shown as %20)
could be an issue in other browsers. You don't HAVE to change them, it's
just a good habit not to use spaces in names.
 
I've got a site that I've added music to the site (demo songs)
There are 16 of them. I've copied and pasted and the first 9 work fine and
the last 6 don't. I can't figure it out what I've done and why they won't
play anymore.
Here are the pages of examples that will work and won't. All I had to do
was change the track #. The music is there, I can click on it by itself
just fine and hear it. It is just not working on the page when it opens.

This one works fine http://www.whirlwindpublishing.com/songs/sendmeasign.htm
This one doesn't :

OOPS, I'll go check.
thanks. I've not worked with music before. I was afraid to make any
changes to those names.
