  Can I use an external site to store audio data which I can then post on my WordPress blog as a playlist like I’m doing right now using the WordPress storage — see this page as an example: http://theshackproject.com/the-shack-stream/2000-10-31/ — the playlist comes from mp3s stored in my WordPress account, but I’d rather use a cloud service for storage since that would be cheaper for me. Is this possible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Currently, your best option would be to add the external audio tracks using the shortcode as explained here:

  Working With Audio

  Unfortunately, you would not be able to add the tracks to a playlist, just play individual audio tracks. Playlists can only be created with uploaded files.

  Does that help to answer your question?
