MP3 not playing in Android using direct link

So I have been trying to solve this problem now for 2 days solid, I have read loads of other threads, but most people seem to be using JW Player with Amazon cloudfront & S3, which I cannot get my head around and is too overcomplicated for me! I was wondering if anyone can offer any assistance, this is the issue….

I am using S2member (version 131126) on WordPress (version 3.7.1) site using theme Spun.

I can get the mp3 file to play on PC, on iOS device, but the file will not play on any android browser.

I am using a direct link to S2member-files/*.mp3

I have tried flash players, javascript players and HTML5 players – all wordpress plugins with good reviews, but the problem remains the same. I can see the player, I can press the play button, but nothing plays, the time count remains 00:00 of 00:00, so I believe that the android browsers are not seeing or accessing the file in the protected folder. The player works perfectly on a page that has a link to an mp3 in an unprotected folder, see here:

I have tried using the various mod-rewrite options from the download options guide, but nothing seems to be working, the file names are definitely correct and are not too long.

I have tried having just one mp3 on the page instead of multiple mp3’s, and that makes no difference either.

There are various pages with mp3s on, but here are links to 2 of them:

Any help to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated!

Happy New Year to you all
