Dropbox StaffThanks 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!

</p><p>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,

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!

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?

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!
