    • Mac users will need to hold control and click in order to pull up the same options for any audio.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-4.jpg\/aid7951597-v4-728px-Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":346,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":548,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This opens the elements for the page, which includes the programming for the audio link.

    This appears in the menu ribbon along the top of the Inspect Element tab that opens.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/9f\/Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/9f\/Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-6.jpg\/aid7951597-v4-728px-Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":346,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":547,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This is so the audio player will display in the Inspect Element display.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a9\/Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a9\/Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-7.jpg\/aid7951597-v4-728px-Download-Audio-from-Tumblr-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":344,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":544,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This will pull up a pop-up menu with more options for the audio player.
    • On some browsers, you can't see the size column so you can just click on the row that the post pops up in.
