sometimes it’s as simple as finding audio elements in the inspector and opening the src attribute in a new tab. ctrl+shift+i (or f12) and you can search for “audio.”

you can also open the network tab, refresh, play the audio, and scroll through requests to see when it requests the audio data. it’s also searchable, look for mp3 and ogg files. if it’s a playlist file (m3u8), you can feed that url to yt-dlp.
