Include audio file

Hi everyone :)
after hours of searching in the manual + the forums and trying different things, I decided to ask for direct help now.

I would like to imbed audio files in my questions and answers (format .wav but could change it to mp3 if necessary) and tried using the files from Dropbox. I found the code below but for some reason it doesn't work.

<audio controls style="width: 185px;"> <source src=" www.dropbox.com/s/mtduzew2p89n2v7/test%2...rter.com%29.mp3?dl=0 " type="audio/mp3">

When using the preview, he audio player appears, looking good. After "loading" it tells me "error" and I can't play the file.
The question now: Why's that? And, more importantly: How can I make it work?
If it's because I'm using a Dropbox file? If so, could you recommend another EASY way of getting an audio files URL?
If it's something to do with this XSS thingy that I've read about (and didn't understand) - please EXPLAIN how I can change it.

I'd really appreciate any help - simple and easy to understand would be great, cause I'm rubbish at all this ;)
Thanks! :)

Hi, AnAO,
well,
Code:
<audio controls="">
<source src="https://www.server.com/Tralala/Himno_Dom.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" /> 
<source src="https://www.server.com/Tralala/Himno_Dom.wav" type="audio/wav" /> 
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
works for me.

You should add the "https://" in the source.
And according to w3schools the media type of "mp3" is "audio/mpeg".

And you could try to copy your files from the dropbox to the LS directory.

Regards
Joffm
