I had my music file playing where the music player is (within the black box). I changed something that gave me the “link” icon instead. Now, music clip only plays when I click the link icon. I want to remove the link icon and just have the music play on the player when pressed play. What on earth did I change here? ---

So, I tried using the “audio” component and entered the url for my music clip…it still won’t play. Any other suggestions?? ![Screenshot 2023-02-14 at 11.25.25 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/c/dc39a92806eec6796385b0ae878a3b04c3e5e2a5.jpeg) ---

Looks like you just typed the name of a file into the component data source. Where is that file? Where is the full url? Shouldn’t it be pointing to a column in your table? ---

Initially it said I could do a custom entry and that’s what I did. Then I went added and selected the column named “music” where I coped and pasted the music file url from my computer. I can’t find anywhere else where I might need to make a change? ---

Can you edit the row, and then upload the file? ---

The custom entry is for URLs that are publicly accessible to Internet users, the URL of the file on your computer does not satisfy that. You should use a file picker component to upload the music file, then use the resulting URL in your audio component. ---
