Hello! I have an API that can return an mp3 file? Use case is like an audio book. Is there a way to play it in Adalo?

Thank you!

There isn’t a native MP3 player, but you can link to the file and it will play in a browser webview window?

We should be adding a audio player component in the next couple of months.

Can you update the progress on an audio player component? I am building an educational app with a series of short audios, each with accompanying images. My audios are stored on a website (external URL).
