Use this block and put the value in the sound component 🙂

No, let me explain clearly.
When you save to a database or to firebase or to any other storage, you have a key, and a value.
The key is the name you want to save it under. It is the name your value will take in the Database and the name you will need to save it and to get it. The value is as you understood what you want to save. If you want to replace your value by another one, just enter the same key, but if you want to save different values, you might want to change the key to not overwrite the old value.
Hope I’ve been clear enough. Tell me if not.
Good day !

Basically here the left one saves your data.
Here `number` is the `name` of your object in the database & `1` is it’s value.
The one on the right collects the data with the `name` so `number` and gives it to you under the `value` block

Here, the sound1 call play is just meant to play the sound you’ve set. So none of these is good, you first need to set `sound1 source to value`, and then do `sound1 call play`
Basically, just add a `sound1 call play` under the `sound1 set source to value` of your second one.

To your mp3 file, it is the value you want to save and to play later. So here just put your mp3 file
