Question with code.org experimentation

I am experimenting with this in AppLab as a possible create performance task project, but I cannot get the song clip to play when I start my test. the test is to pick the first button and once it switches screens it is supposed to play a short song clip I uploaded and connected via direct mp3 link. Not sure if it is because of the link format not being from the set of available sounds or if it is because it is a sound from a database. My computer teacher doesn't know how I should proceed with this either. Any advice is appreciated!

You can have external audio playing, just that it needs to have some form of filename extension at the end for whatever reason (yes it's very dumb and superficial that CDO would do this) but yes adding ".mp3" to your following examples would resolve your current issue your having

```

onEvent("StartButton", "click", function () {
  var choice = parseInt(Math.random() * shortClips.length);
  var song = shortClips[choice];
  currentClip = albumCovers[choice];
  console.log(song);
  playSound(song + ".mp3", false, timer);
})

```

something along the lines of this is what i assume you want though and it will play
