Damn, you just found your new jam. You wish you could save it offline though, but there is no download button. You really need this tune to get jiggy with it.

Step 3: Download

You’re almost done. After hitting Enter, you’ll be greeted by a page that looks like an old friend—Darkness. At the dead center of the page will be a simplistic minimalist audio player:

What are you even waiting for? Click on “Download”, you’re done!

The next time you like some audio on Tumblr that does not have a download link, you can use this method to steal the shit out of that beautiful piece of music and indefinitely get jiggy with it!
