How to add mp3 from the internet?

I have added an additional ‘sound’ field for type-in-answer cards. I want to use links to audio from one site (you can see the links in the pics), I manually created a couple of cards and when I added the links to the sound field they were automatically converted to the format as in the first pic and everything worked as it should.

But I need to add a lot of such audio, so I created a table in which in the third column added links (as in the 2nd pic). In the end it didn’t work and the links were not converted to audio but just displayed as plain text next to the answer. I realised that it seems I should have written the links inside [sound: url.mp3]. So when I tried to manually edit a couple of cards from the imported table in this way, I got a button to play audio, but there is no sound at all and I can’t even click on this button.
I also downloaded someone else’s deck that had audios (they work fine) and when I looked at the cards I saw that the links to the mp3 files were differently written (3 pics), can I do something like that? My ultimate goal is to upload a large amount of audio and ideally so I can share my deck with others.

A lot of people use add-ons that use Forvo for example to add sound files to their cards. Yomitan also has similar features if you decide to create cards there.
