Is there a way to associate a music with a note?

I would like to associate MP3 files with a note. This way, when someone reviews a note, they could immerse themselves in a similar moment to when it was created.

I am unsure if a plugin for this already exists or if it would be useful to the community, but I would really like to have this feature.

Thank you in advance for reading this.

I don’t recommend going too deep with this unless your workflow requires it.

Some ideas:

  • associate your attachment file and note with a folder, Auto Folder Note Paste community plugin (I haven’t tested this plugin)
  • or just use internal links and let Obsidian decide where attachments are stored (see docs)
  • properties can contain internal links (see docs)
  • Spotify URI etc can be used to identify a song

You can in theory use some advanced plugin like Shell commands to execute a custom action when a note is opened. In this case you would want to open an url specified by the note property. Obviously this requires some programming skills and the solution is not portable. However if you just store the song information in the note (i.e. as internal link) and use folders to manage attachments then this solution is extremely portable. The end user then decide himself how and when to open the attachment.

I’m not sure what you’re looking for, exactly. I know you can already embed an mp3 in a note, as an attachment.

But you don’t see the name of the file, if that is important for you. The “Media Extended” plugin changes the visibility of the embed, so you can see the name and details.

Although, looking at the plugin page, I see that version 4 is going to be closed source. So it’s likely going in directions I won’t want to use, with AI, and paid subscriptions, etc. All I want is to see the title (as a musician embedding song tracks.)
