1. Sign up for the free version of Dropbox and download onto your desktop computer
2. Upload your mp3 or wav sound file and place it in their Public Folder
3. Hover over the file and click on the chain icon to view the Dropbox link and copy and paste it into a word processing software on your computer.

The link will look something like this but with your own dropbox file name

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0fi6h6qf8nm0194/rue%20doisneau.wav?dl=0

You then need to delete the www. and replace with dl. Next delete the ?dl=0 at the end of the line and finally place Quote Marks before the https and at the end of the line.

So now it will look like this.

"https://dl.dropbox.com/s/0fi6h6qf8nm0194/rue%20doisneau.wav"

Next you need to Add

<audio src=

before the https and at the end of the line add

controls>Rue Doisneau</audio><br />



You can put your own song title where I have put Rue Doisneau

So the Final Code will look something like this.

<audio src="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/0fi6h6qf8nm0194/rue%20doisneau.wav" controls>Rue Doisneau</audio><br />



Copy and paste yours on the Forum and it should bring up the player like this:-




The sample is of me playing acoustic version of part of the song Rue Doisneau by JJ Milteau on a Bb harp.

p.s You can try your experimentation HERE on the 'OT: Practice Your Forum Skills' to see if it works.

I thought the dropbox public folder was gone. Do you have the paid version or is that available to everyone? That's how I used to do it.

I don't have the paid version Nate and the public folder is still there. When you upload your mp3 you are given the option to put it directly into the public folder.

It appears that only folk who had dropbox in 2012 have the Public Folder. The following could be a workaround for those that can't access the public folder.


Sign in to Dropbox on your web browser and view your uploaded files. Or if you have none right click and hold and drag an mp3 file from your pc into the dropbox web page.

Wait until it is uploaded and then click the Share box alongside the mp3 and it will bring up another window. On the bottom right, click create link wait a bit and then click copy link and hopefully you will then be able to use that link to carry out the above procedure for producing the audio player with your mp3 on it.
