Hey there,
in one of my current experiments, I want to present a large amount of different auditory stimuli and have participants rate them. However, PsyToolkit seems to have a problem with the size of the files and/or their sheer number, and the experiment cannot be compiled. Therefore, I wanted to save the stimuli externally instead, as is possible for bitmaps and videos according to the documentation. I saved my stimuli on Dropbox (with a Dropbox Professional subscription so the files are publicly accessible) and included them in my experiment as follows:

f_15_yaer99_beziehung_1 www.dropbox.com/s/1tiskjlydafzm0z/f_15_yaer99_beziehung_1.mp3?raw=1
f_18_lein50_hetero_1 www.dropbox.com/s/x3e3lvijdzzqf7z/f_18_lein50_hetero_1.mp3?raw=1

The experiment now compiles without warning messages, but apparently the stimuli are not loaded properly, as in the trials you only see a black screen and PsyToolkit freezes. I have also tried loading the stimuli from Google Drive or other cloud services, but that did not change the outcome. When trying to implement bitmaps that were loaded from the same Dropbox, everything works just fine.
My question therefore is: Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something? Is it even possible to include audio files in PsyToolkit experiments in this way?
I hope that I'm not missing something obvious here. Thanks in advance for your help!
