Step 1. Open the Add New Download Window
Open the software, go to Downloader, click on + New Download, and the New Download window will pop up.
Step 2. Copy & Paste the Audio URL and Analyze It
Copy the audio URL and paste it into the Paste URL box. Then click on Analyze. Alternatively, you can also click Paste and Analyze.
Step 3. Download Music from Website
Once the analysis process is complete, choose an audio format under Download Audio, then click on OK, Download All to save the audio to your computer.
Step 4 (Optional). Convert the Downloaded File
If you didn’t find the desired format in the download options, you can first download the file in one of the available formats and then convert the downloaded file to needed format in the Converter module. Follow the step below:
After it finishes downloading, go to Converter, add the downloaded file, click on Output Format on the right of the main interface, go to the Audio tab and select MP3 or any of other formats you want. Finally, click on Run to complete downloading MP3 from website.
Method 2. Download Embedded Audio from Websites through Inspecting Elements
Different from music files that are hosted as videos on YouTube and similar websites, an embedded audio file is typically self-hosted. In such cases, you can follow the steps to download music from websites:
Save Audio from Website
Step 1. Move your cursor over the audio file, and the file destination will be displayed at the bottom of your browser. If the audio can be downloaded directly, the destination should end with .mp3 extension. Of course, the extension may also be WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A, etc. In such cases, you only need to right click, select “Save link as” to download MP3 from website. However, if it doesn’t show the destination, you need to move to the next step.
Step 2. Right click on the blank margins of the page, select “Inspect” in Chrome or “Inspect Element” in Firefox to open the Inspect page. Press Ctrl+F, and enter MP3, or other audio tags the audio file may use. Once you locate the file address/link, you can open the link in a new browser page and download the audio. If you want to download the background music of web pages, you can also follow this step to find the audio and extract audio from websites.
Method 3. Download MP3 from Websites with an Audio Recorder
If you didn’t find the audio file address even if you use the source code viewer as method 2 does, the audio is most likely encrypted. And the recommended option is to record the audio. Audacity is a good cross-platform and well-remarkable video & audio recorder.
