How to Get Audio File Url.mp3

Great question! To use background music on your Blogger site, you need a direct .mp3 link to the audio file — meaning it should end in .mp3 and not open a player page. Here's how to get one:


🎵 Option 1: Upload to a Free File Hosting Service

1. File.io / SoundHost / Dropbox (with tweaks)

Dropbox (Steps to get a direct link):

  1. Upload your .mp3 file to Dropbox.

  2. Click "Share" on the file → then "Copy link" (it will look like:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcd1234/myfile.mp3?dl=0)

  3. Replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com and remove ?dl=0:

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/abcd1234/myfile.mp3

✅ That is your direct mp3 link.


🎵 Option 2: Use GitHub (if you're a bit tech-savvy)

  1. Create a GitHub repo (public).

  2. Upload the .mp3 file.

  3. Go to the raw file view, copy the raw file URL — e.g.:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourusername/yourrepo/main/music.mp3

🎵 Option 3: Use Google Drive (a little trickier)

Google Drive doesn’t give a direct .mp3 link easily, but you can work around it:

  1. Upload the .mp3 file to Google Drive.

  2. Right-click → Get link (set to "Anyone with the link").

  3. Copy the file ID from the share link:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view?usp=sharing

  4. Use this format to generate a direct link:

    https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID

But ⚠️ this may not always autoplay due to Google’s limitations.


Need a quick audio file to test with?
