@hahmed44 I just gave the code you shared in this comment a try in Chrome and it actually worked fine for me and played the audio. Likewise, I checked the Dropbox shared link itself and it also seems to be working. That being the case, it sounds like this may be an issue with your browser or media player, but unfortunately we can't offer help with those as they're not made by Dropbox.

 

I also tried loading the Tumblr page you linked to, and I noticed there were a number of errors and warnings in the JavaScript console, so I recommend investigating those.

greg,

 

thanks so much for your response and help with my problems with my mp3 dropbox links not working even when i use raw=1.

 

i will look into trying chrome instead of firefox but i wonder if others can or cannot hear my player if they arent using chrome like me.

 

i hope my player and dropbox links work. if not, i hope you dont mind if i continue picking your brain in the future.

 

thanks so much.

cheers!

hana

 

p.s.

as for the javascript problems---that's just over my head. i have no clue as to how to fix those javascript issues and really what youre talking about. does it have anything to do with my mp3 dropbox problems?

@hahmed44 I did not investigate the errors in detail. You'll need to use the browser's developer tools to inspect and debug them. it's certainly possible they are related to the issue you're having with your player. 

 

I didn't see anything broken on the Dropbox side, but let us know if you find an issue with Dropbox itself that we can help with. 

Need more support?
