I have a site currently using Seriously Simple Podcasting (SSP). For reasons not relevant to this ticket, we have decided to stop using SSP. While researching alternatives I found Sonaar MP3 Audio Player which looks great, but I can't seem to get working.
The feature I'm interested in is the ability to use the player with dynamic custom fields. SSP saves the audio file into a custom field named `audio_file` - see the screenshot of the postmeta in the database. So I tried using the shortcode like this:

This shortcode doesn't work either. I there a problem with my shortcode, or will the MP3 Audio Player plugin not work with anchor.fm links?

Hi David,
First of all, we can see that the MP3 URL isn’t working:
https://anchor.fm/s/6b8e676c/podcast/play/104064017/httpsd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.netstaging2025-5-13402080751-44100-2-f6316d541676b.mp3
To investigate further, I would need access to the WordPress admin (wp-admin).
Thanks,
