mp3 URL ending with mp3

I'm having problems with new uploaded mp3's in DROPBOX. The URL-link does not end with mp3 but with al lot of letters. For example: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Helium%20II.mp3?_subject_uid=4132772...

    ?raw=1 will allow an mp3 file to play directly.

Thank you Rick! I've tried the share-link but I get 'error could not read file' in my player on my website. That link is a link to the file, but does not PLAY the file. The playing file is the long one with all the letters and numbers. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance! Chris
