  Hello there!

  In order to do this, you will go to your Media Library and open one of your sound files, like this one:

  https://snowyrangeefree.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php?item=2468

  Copy the ENTIRE address in the URL field. In the case of the example above, the link is:

  [audio src="https://snowyrangeefree.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/20150222_credible_god_does_exist_mark_vaporis_56kbr.mp3" /]

  Paste that link in your address bar and click Enter/Return. You’ll see an audio player where you can play this MP3.

  Right click on the audio player. You will see an option to Save As.

  Choose a folder on your computer where you want to save that MP3, and go ahead and make it happen!

  That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)
