How can I create a shared MP3 link that can be previewed on another site?
Simply, I want to share the file EM01.mp3 from my drop box to users of my website using Google Sites. I want the file to use this basic audio player:
<audio controls> <source src="YOUR_DIRECT_ONEDRIVE_MP3_URL_HERE" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio>
I am missing something. I can't seem to generate my direct onedrive MP3 url.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks
Rick

Hi RickCarraher, thanks for joining the Community!
Just for clarification, OneDrive is another cloud provider by Microsoft, so there shouldn't be any OneDrive links being used in this case.
After you create a shared link to an MP3 file, you can try forcing the file to render in a browser using these steps.
It should be able to be previewed as is, although I'm not sure if it would work when embedded in another audio player, so I'd recommend testing it first to see if this works.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
