Audio embed using blocks

Audio block

Using an uploaded audio file

Soundcloud block

Google Audio

Important settings on the Google audio file

  • Open sharing up (either public, or shared with the class specifically and let them know to check their Google session before accessing the blog)
  • Ensure downloding is enabled – if it is disabled, the playback will not work.

Audio block – using a Google URL?

Shared to anyone with the link. Does this even work?

This only worked with a special version of the URL from Google AND only when I’m logged into my Ryerson Google account. Not sure how to get this to work widely.

https://drive.google.com/u/1/uc?export=download&id=0B9LKEddT6B_1V3RNcnh0SXZkUDg
Where the id= includes the ID code from the file uploaded.

Below, I’m trying the version of the URL without the /u/1 (which references our domain somehow). It doesn’t work when I preview it – but does it work publicly? (no)
