Then you made a mistake in the renaming.
songname.mp3 has renamed in songname.mp4 and not in songname.mp4. so no . after mp4 in the instruction the . was to mark the end of the sentence and was not part of the extension name.
So double check the name you gave to the file.
Or use this app http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=08f0483c-ccb1-4b12-918d-36b3ee3c1412

not working for me! I did following:
[1] Photos are saved to SD card in my phone. So I went to SD card-->Pictures folder.
[2] Created a folder called WhatsApp Music
[3] Copied a song from SD Card--> Music and pasted it to WhatsApp Music Folder.
[4] Renamed extension of mp3 file to mp4.
[5] Opened WhatsApp.
[6] in chat, clicked Attach icon--> Albums.
[7] I can see all default folders like camera roll, saved pictures, whatsapp, but not WhatsApp Music.

I also tried restarting my phone, yet can't find it in albums :-(

Did I miss anything here?

open whatsapp > tap attachment icon > select video. Now you can see the .mp4 file

Did you try WhatsApp Video Optimizer app yet? You don't need to use those earlier tweaks anymore. Just install that app and it will do the needful

It's really annoying how we can plot down simple solutions for BS created from our beloved MS I mean I mean I don't think it was that hard for WhatsApp developers to add this code. And I'm thinking about making an app that does this exact task for free. Why because it was supposed to be essential. We own smartphones for God's sake.....

Maybe they don't know about the file picker APIs yet. Who knows?

But don't you think some corporate like FB doesn't get full API support? Not even enterprise customer care? I don't as u said they might not know

Thank you Mohammed for your expertise knowledge. All the steps you gave if followed closely work a great deal. Actually I was disturbed by the fact that I was unable to send audios to Whatsapp on my Lumia 530. I got relieved when I read you post and was overjoyed.

Only that for me l used a different App called Files. It is a Free App from Microsoft. And it also works pretty fine.
Many thanks.

It does, n doing it since long. Your r just missing few steps. But let it be, WhatsApp is bringing this feature soon.

Found an easier way, through OneDrive. Go to your music file and click and hold onto the file you want to send, once you get the checkmark in the top right corner, go to your share button. Press, "send file", wait for it to download. Your sharing page will come up, press whatsapp and choose who you want to send it too. Works great! Just not with videos, only music files.
