Team Songs: Hosted MP3 Files
PLEASE NOTE! Since these audio files are hosted on your own subscription service, subscription and/or data fees may apply. It is your responsibility to follow all of the Terms of Use for the 3rd party products mentioned below.

FanDraft allows the use of Hosted MP3 files for use in the "Team Songs" features. The "Team Songs" act as walk-up songs, playing when a team is on-deck to draft or nominate a player in a draft.
We recommend the use of Dropbox, and no longer support Google Drive for shared MP3.
- Dropbox
Below are instructions for how to utilize each of these platforms for use with the FanDraft "Team Songs" feature.

Troubleshooting
We recommend the use of the Chrome browser to avoid running into conflicts.
Dropbox has data transfer limits. If for some reason your Team Songs stop playing, you may want to investigate if you have hit your monthly max monthly limits.
- If an MP3 file is not working, it may not be properly encoded, and thus incompatible. You can double-check this by testing in your browser through the Dropbox app player.
