When you insert a link to a hosted audio file into Facebook’s link section above the status box, Facebook will automatically create an audio player.
Below this audio player is a couple areas of information about any particular audio file you link to. They don’t make it obvious that you can actually edit the information that is contained in these fields (title, artist, album) but it’s an easy process once you know how.
Once your file is linked, you see that the fields display “unknown artist” and “unknown album.”
Simply place your mouse over each section and the field to be edited will be highlighted. Click and place whatever text you like into this section. It’s that simple. This also applies for the title of the file seen in bold lettering.

So the link section deals with audio posting. I also modify the details when I post a picture for example, I'm referring to the text, some links will spit a PHP code and you'll have to edit the information to some relevant stuff, regarding any link you post on facebook.
Cool. Thanks for the tip Cristian. It's nice they give us the option. Sometimes they just don't make it as obvious as you'd like;) Thanks for listening!
I was so excited when I saw this post. Thank you so much. It makes the post on Facebook much more interesting. Check it out – http://www.facebook.com/theredtentwoman.
