Audio shortcode pulling old content?

[okieman]

Our site has a page of links to mp3 files of Sunday services. Ea Sunday features one meditation file and one file for the main talk. Starting June 14, each of the meditation files ("play" shortcode) is getting changed between the admin dashboard and the user's Web browser. It's delivering the June 7 meditation regardless of what we upload. I've tried deleting all the trash from WP page uploads, and making sure whatever browser I use to test has the cache flushed. Also confirmed new meditation files are on the server. Below is the most recent example of what I see in the text view in the admin dashboard vs what's delivered to a browser. Only the "play" shortcode link is getting munged. The right-click download is OK. How is this possible?

<h4 class="datnm">July 5 - What is Peace?</h4><div class="bdbyx">Meditation / <a class="blckm" title="Right click -Save as" href="http://www.tulsaunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/150705_meditation.mp3">download <span class="dwnpt">?“</span></a> <strong>or</strong> Play:</div>
<div class="ado">[audio="http://www.tulsaunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/150705_meditation.mp3"][/audio]</div>
<div class="bdbyx">“What is Peace?” / <a class="blckm" title="Right click -Save as" href="http://www.tulsaunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/150705_What-is-Peace.mp3">download <span class="dwnpt">?“</span></a> <strong>or</strong> Play:</div>
<div class="ado">[audio mp3="http://www.tulsaunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/150705_What-is-Peace.mp3"][/audio]</div>

- and then -

User error. The process of carefully composing the post made me see that mp3 was missing from the meditation shortcode. WordPress was evidently pulling up the last good version of that. Now I know the likely diagnosis if a link on a WordPress page starts pulling old content. Thanks anyway.

But I would like to know if there's a way to make my HTML text editor (Notepad++) recognize errors in WordPress-specific text like shortcodes? It already does that with regular HTML.
