Contrary to other threads that discuss about playing audio files that are stored locally I want to know how to play audio files that are stored remotely? I want to play it remotely because my app contains a lot of audio files. In sum they are around 90MB big. Since users may not want to download an app that is over 90MB big, I thought it would be better to not save the audio files on the app but link them to a cloud server and play the audio files remotely.

The best thing I came accross was how to play files on spotify: [http://www.joshmorony.com/spotify-player-ionic/](http://www.joshmorony.com/spotify-player-ionic/)

Does anyone know a good way to play audio files that are saved on the cloud on my app?
