After iOS 15 update on iPad and iPhone I can no longer play MP3s from websites directly in the browser… I’ve used DuckDuckGo and Safari it looks like it’s going to play for a second and then I get this screen. This has never ever been an issue I’ve played them from websites this way for years…

Hi there bsurfm,
While this could be caused by several factors(the website itself, needing an update, etc.), we'd like to help narrow it down as much as we can.
To see how we can help, please confirm the following details:
Cheers!
Thanks for writing back!
Hello bsurfm,
That's good to hear video streaming websites work without any issues, along with other mp3 websites.
We can also rule out being outdated from your iPhone side of things.
As this is narrowed down specifically to your work related website, we recommend contacting your IT department to see what they have to say. They may also need to reach out to the website host, but we're not able to say what would be required from their end.
We hope this helps, and take care!
I talked to IT and the website owner and nothing has changed. The problem happened right after I installed both iphone and iPad os's. Here is a video to show you exactly what happen. You can see once I click the button, a player appears very briefly, then I get the play button with the line through it error. When this worked (just a couple weeks ago), I would get the player screen (without the error following), press play and it played fine. I've been doing this on this website and iPads since the very first ipad came out...this is the new operating systems bug of some sort.
I am having the same issue with another website. I can listen to the mp3 on my MacBook but it won’t work on my iPad. So this would seem it is in fact an issue with iPad os and not the site.
Agreed! I have Since discovered that I can download the file I just can’t stream it directly from websites…
MP3’s won’t play
