I have an Audio Player that plays a playlist of music. When I add audio tracks to the Glide App, some work and others don’t. The Google Audio tracks on the Google Drive and Google Sheets tracks are not working.

Are the google drive links publicly shared? You would be better off uploading the audio to Glide.

The google drive links are publicly shared. When putting them into the Glide database, what is the best format/extension to use?

I guess MP3 should work alright on a lot of devices. You can use a File Picker to upload them to Glide.
