How to make WordPress audio playlist understand the direct links of audio files shared on google drive?

by

this is my first post here and I excited! I used this approach to make a playlist with external links of audio files I have in my drive but unfortunately It couldn’t recognize the google drive direct link as a audio type file. Would you please guide me how I can solve this issue!?
Thank you in advance and sorry if my English is not well enough!

As you can see in comments section of my question, «birgire» had suggested to a user of his plugin to change the google drive direct link as follow so that It can be recognized an played in the WordPress playlist:
A normal google drive direct link is something like this:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0Bz4YdwRI3rnCMFRoTmtSS0M1VHM

If you make sure the first GET parameter is the id of your file, It will be playable in WordPress playlist. So you need to remove the “export=download&” part of the google direct link. Above example should be like this:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0Bz4YdwRI3rnCMFRoTmtSS0M1VHM
