What audio formats does the **Audio component** support? I can’t select my **.mp3** , **.wav** , and **.m4r** files from the folder—it only seems to allow **.mp4** files. ​Also, I don’t know any code or programming languages; I chose **Elements** precisely because it lets you build a website like you’re putting together LEGO bricks. So, I have a small request: Could you possibly add a feature to the **Audio component** that allows users to **download** the audio file? It would be great if it could both play the audio _and_ provide a download option for visitors. Thank you! ---

Welcome 🤗 I’m not sure… Got 80 players up playing .mp3 at [Windytown.com](http://Windytown.com) Works fine…. Are you selecting it / dragging it to the correct box? ![IMG_6295](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/e/5e2bfd5148f0d3202e20cda6c718646db247f9aa.jpeg) ---

Thank you for your reply. I see now that it works with drag-and-drop; I had been using the choose button to choose the file from the folder. ​I took a look at your website. I want to build a page similar to yours, but with a separate download button for every audio file. The only problem is that I don’t know any coding. ---

At [onesongeveryday.com](http://onesongeveryday.com) I have the files on Google Drive and linked from the website The listener clicks it - opens a new window with a standard player, in the player is usually an option to download! Not very elegant - but it works…. ---

Our third world countries can’t access Google Drive, but we still hope the audio component can provide a download button. I see that the audio component can customize buttons, but only limited to the few buttons provided by the developer. ---

Just add a link or button below the player, you can then link to any resource in your project. Under the custom attributes, add a new attribute and name it “download”, this will tell the browser to download the file, not open it. You can also give it a custom value and that will be set as the download file name. name: `download` value: `name-of-your-file.mp3` ![CleanShot 2025-10-11 at 1 .25.59@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/9/a974d9bd50c36ba46f70d0106a15855edee5e83f.jpeg) Hope that helps. ---
