How to download mixes from Mixcloud in MP3 format on Mac and PC.
Mixcloud is a fairly popular streaming service from London, with a huge amount of music, radio shows and podcasts. We're not sure why DJs fell in love with it, but a lot of recordings are posted there before they're available anywhere else. The creators of the service initially decided not to let users download tracks they liked and listen to them offline, but we'll put this irritating injustice right.
This tutorial was created using the Mac version of the software, but the steps are the same for Windows and Linux.
-
Find the song you like
Open the Mixcloud track you want to download in your browser and copy the link to it to the clipboard.
-
Pasting the link
Run the downloader app and click the Paste link button on the toolbar. The program will download the required information about the track from Mixcloud servers and displays it in the list of downloads. It also tries to parse additional metadata like coverart and genre.
-
Start downloading
Now click the Start button and the program begins downloading the selected song. If the download list contains multiple tracks, you can click the Start all button instead.
-
Done!
Wait a little bit and enjoy your freshly grabbed songs downloaded from Mixcloud. Downloaded files are available directly within the program – simply click the Locate button next to the selected track.
While our program allows you to download songs from Mixcloud, we strongly encourage you to support the artists who create this music by purchasing their music or attending their concerts.
