CORS error playing mp3 from another website

I have the problem that my React application does not play audio from another source with a CORS error.
Sample: https://audio.podigee-cdn.net/1041740-m-0fcf92e897e7cd93200a43cf103a75fb.mp3

Weirdly enough when I go to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_audio.asp, enter the url from above and click play it works.

On my local React application I get a 302 status and a redirect subsequently.The audio tag contains a crossOrigin="anonymous" and the url in the src element.

On W3Schools it does somehow the redirect and I only get a status 206 from the redirected url.

How to reproduce:

1. git clone https://github.com/SamTV12345/PodFetch.git
2. Follow the README description in the Building section
3. git checkout origin/develop
4. Add any podcast with more than 5 episodes.
5. Click on the CloudIcon

You need to import the mp3 URL through new Audio(url) instead of XMLHttpRequest to avoid CORS. For example :

<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: true -->

<!-- language: lang-js -->

class PlaySound extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      play: false
    };

    this.url = "https://audio.podigee-cdn.net/1041740-m-0fcf92e897e7cd93200a43cf103a75fb.mp3";
    this.audio = new Audio(this.url);
    this.togglePlay = this.togglePlay.bind(this);
  }

  togglePlay() {
    const wasPlaying = this.state.play;
    this.setState({
      play: !wasPlaying
    });

    if (wasPlaying) {
      this.audio.pause();
    } else {
      this.audio.play();
      setInterval(()=>{
        console.clear();
        let seconds = new Date().getSeconds();
        let points = '.'.repeat(seconds % 4);
        console.log(`Loading audio${points}`);
      }, 1000);
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button
          id="audioBtn"
          onClick={this.togglePlay} onCanPlay={this.detectPlay}> {this.state.play ? "Pause" : "Play"}
          
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<PlaySound />, document.getElementById("root"));

Example occurrence of CORS with using Ajax:

<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false -->

<!-- language: lang-js -->

let audio = document.querySelector('#myAudio');

function playAudio() { 
  audio.play(); 
} 

function pauseAudio() { 
  audio.pause(); 
} 

$.ajax({
  url: 'https://audio.podigee-cdn.net/1041740-m-0fcf92e897e7cd93200a43cf103a75fb.mp3',
  success: (res) => {
    audio.srcObject = URL.createObjectURL(res);
  },
  error: (err) => {
    console.error('CORS Error. See browser console for detail.');
  }
});

<!-- language: lang-html -->

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<audio id="myAudio"></audio>

<button onclick="playAudio()" type="button">Play Audio</button>
<button onclick="pauseAudio()" type="button">Pause Audio</button>

<!-- end snippet -->
