Hi @hahmed44, thanks for checking in with us.
I'd be happy to help, I'll just need a bit more info to make sure I have a better understanding of what you're seeing. For example:

Do the links work (with the ?raw=1) if you paste them into the address bar of your browser? Use an Incognito/Private window so you're not logged into your Dropbox account.
If the links work and you're able to either play the file in your browser or the browser tries to download it, then there's nothing wrong with the link. You'll need to contact the support team for the player and ask if URLs with parameters at the end are supported in the player.
hi lusil. i had responded a week ago to your suggestion and did not hear back from you. can you please let me know what i should do after my last response please. thank you kindly.
Cheers!

Thanks for nudging me back, @hahmed44.
Out of curiosity, when you mention that the links don't play, do any error messages come up or are the links constantly loading?
A screenshot (without any personal info) of what you see would also be very helpful.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!

this is the correct html using raw=1 that i used a long time ago. disregard the ones i sent previously. so sorry
it is the same link that i used now and nothing happens at all. no error message or anything. it is total silence.
here is my link & html that works to the old code but not my current link:
i cant see what's different or what im doing wrong and i cant send you the html's that i used (old and new) because dropbox keeps saying that i have errors and wont let me send it to you.
here is the recorder i use:

here's the dropbox link: (old one that used to work)

with these as being my html to have a working html mp3 recorder playing a song (recorder wouldnt come up on your site. i dont know why):
if i use this dropbox link which should be the same as the top dropbox link by also using raw=1, it doesnt work:
both using raw=1
i hope im explaining myself correctly
thank you so much for trying to help me
Cheers,
Hana
Thanks for the additional info, Hana!
I moved your thread here, where some like-minded users may be able to give you some relevant suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.
In the meantime, if there's anything I can help with or you have any other questions, just give me a nudge. Thanks!
