Audio with javascript + streaming from google drive.

Question

1. I have an audio in the library with a linkage of "dude"

2. I use the following code to instantiate and play the audio.

var audio = new Audio(dude);
audio.play();

It doesn't work.

3. I need to add 100's-1000's of audio files - (Learning English platform.)

I would like to host them on google drive and download as necessary.

This way I save on traffic to my website. Is that all possible.

Could you point me in the right direction to learn about streaming audio.

Also, if it's streamed then it won't have a linkage name as it's not in my library so how can I instantiate as needed.

Thanks.

To play a sound where the audio is in the library with a linkage column name, I tend to use:
createjs.Sound.play("soundNameInLinkageColumn");

To stop the sound, you could use:
createjs.Sound.stop();

For external sound, try
var myAudio = new Audio('sounds/dude.mp3');
myAudio.play();

Where dude.mp3 is in a subfolder called 'sounds' under your published HTML.

To the other part of your question, if the sound is on a particular URL, you could have:
var myAudio = new Audio(''https://website.com/dude.mp3');

I am not sure if it will work with audio hosted on Google Drive. You could test and see.
