External links are not supported for the popup.
As a possible workaround you can try using the ‘Page Links to’ plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/page-links-to/ then you can set up a dummy page with a redirect to your external URL.
Tried this but still didnt work.
any other work around?

[audioalbum title=”Featured Tracklist” detail=”Grafton records” date=”2016″]
[audiotrack title=”Count it all joy” songwriter=”Mr 2kay” mp3=”http://www.graftonrecords.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Mr2KAY-COUNTITJOYmusic.naij_.com_.mp3″ buttonlink=”399″ buttontext=”Download” width=”300″ height=”500″]
This url does not appear to be working: http://www.graftonrecords.net/?p=399
Is there a page setup on the site that has the id 399?
The 404 page indicates that the page is not being found
This link works as the URL of your events page
http://www.graftonrecords.net/?p=278
however this link in exactly the same format to the new page does not work
http://www.graftonrecords.net/?p=399
I can’t explain why this is not working. Can you set up & publish a new dummy page, then check that you can get to it by its page-id: http://www.graftonrecords.net/?p=xxx then add the redirect and see whether putting URL in the browser address bar (in the same format) opens the correct redirect page
I mentioned trying ‘page links to’ as a possible workaround, however I had not tried using it in this way.
I have just done an experiment on a test site and it looks like this is appropriate only when the page is accessed via the ‘pretty permalink’ rather than the page id, so this won’t actually work.
There may be an alternative way to achieve this, however I have not needed to do this so I do not have a working method.
Unless you can find an alternative way to redirect a non-permalink WordPress URL to an external URL, I would have to say that it seems that using an external target for the popup is not supported.
I should be possible to add external linking as a new feature to the audio album plugin, however I would only be able to spare the time to work on this if I needed it for one of my own projects or if someone commissioned the work.
