Hi,
First time posting, sorry for the long post.I have very little experience with WP customization (I have Enfold installed) and I need some help.
I’m trying to add to my website a few (20-30) audio playlists that can play mp3 files from Dropbox.
I was able to make one file from Dropbox play on a page by using:
[audio mp3="https://www.dropbox.com/s/m1mxp5qhnpk9e53/EBBY%20W_Demo%20English_1-1.mp3?raw=1"][/audio]
but I cannot find a way to do the same with a playlist.
When I use the default Enfold Audio Player I can create playlists but I can only add audio files that I previously uploaded in the WP database. It looks like there is no option to add links to external files.
Is there a, non-too complicated, way I can achieve what I’m trying to do?
I know I could probably use some plugin, but I have no idea which one would do the business. Also I like the minimalist look of the Enfold audio player and I’d rather use that than some external plugins that will maybe loose compatibility in the long run.
Hope is clear.

You might want to consider a plugin for that. Here is one that can work

Thanks for your reply. To my complete surprise I did manage to install the plugin, run the short code and play the audio from Dropbox onto the page. It felt great :)I think the plugin you suggested it’s a very good starting point for what I’d like to do, but I’m afraid there is a lot of copy/paste involved to create the playlists (I need to create at least 30-40 playlists with 10-15 tracks each) and the appearance of the player would have to be customized a little. Truth is, I don’t have the skills for that.
Do you know any other plugin with a more user friendly interface, compatible with Enfold theme, easy to customize, one where I can just drop the DB links into and it’d do the magic without code involved?
Thanks so much for your time and have a great week-end,

Glad this plugin worked for you :) I am not aware of another plugin like that, unfortunately.

Thanks for your patience.
I do have another couple of questions.At the end, for reliability, we opted to use the default audio player and create playlists with audio files uploaded into WP media storage.
I’ve posted below a screenshot of what the playlists look like.
– Is there a way to remove the “inverted commas” in the track titles?
– Is there a reason why the audio tracks length is showing for some tracks and not for others? Is there a way to remove the track’s length info from the playlist?
Thanks,
Roberto

Thanks for the screenshot. Could you post a link to where we can see the actual elements as well please? We need to inspect the elements in order to give you accurate CSS.
Best regards,

Please see below.

RobertoJune 8, 2020 at 7:39 pm #1220597Hi RobertoSa,
Here is the code you can put in Enfold > General Styling > Quick Css, if it does not work, put into themes/enfold/css/custom.css
.wp-playlist-tracks .wp-playlist-item-length { display: none; }
Are you sure those quotes are not added manually when creating a track?
If you need further assistance please let us know.

That worked, thanks!
> Are you sure those quotes are not added manually when creating a track?
Yes, I’m.– Here is an example of how the title is written: https://www.dropbox.com/s/go2w0ki1kg37z2n/Playlist_title_name.jpg?dl=0
No inverted commas.– And this is an example of how the playlist is displayed if the title field is empty: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vq70eewkya1wd25/Playlist_title_noname.jpg?dl=0
Only the inverted commas will show.Looks like those inverted commas are set somewhere else. Any advice?
Thanks,

Thanks for the screenshot. I see what you mean.
I have no idea how to “look at the WordPress files “. Do you have a link that shows how to do that?
Same for “some JavaScript that will replace the quotes”, much appreciated.Best,
RobertoJune 10, 2020 at 7:22 pm #1221347Hi Roberto,
I could not see the page anymore. Did you remove it?
