Mixcloud Downloader — Save DJ Mixes & Radio Shows (No App)

A Mixcloud downloader for long-form DJ mixes, radio shows, and podcasts. Free downloads save Mixcloud's native M4A audio — no transcode, no quality loss, plays everywhere — and Pro adds MP3 conversion. No app, works with any public mixcloud.com show URL.

How to download a Mixcloud mix

  1. Copy the Mixcloud show URL. On mixcloud.com, click the Share button under the show artwork and copy the link. From the Mixcloud mobile app, tap Share and choose Copy Link. The URL looks like `mixcloud.com/CHANNEL/SHOW-SLUG/` — paste the URL of a single show, not a channel page or a playlist.
  2. Paste it into TubePull. Paste the URL into the download box at the top of this page. TubePull detects the Mixcloud show and resolves the audio manifest. Output is audio-only for Mixcloud — there is no video stream to download.
  3. Click Download. TubePull pulls the audio chunks from Mixcloud's CDN, joins them into a single file, and embeds the show title, channel name, and artwork as tags. A free download saves Mixcloud's native M4A untouched; on the Pro plan you can convert to MP3 instead. The file lands in your downloads folder ready to drop into iTunes, Apple Music, or any music player or podcast app.

About the TubePull Mixcloud Downloader

Mixcloud is the home of long-form DJ mixes, radio shows, and podcasts — the place where Rinse FM, NTS, Boiler Room, and tens of thousands of independent DJs host hour-and-two-hour sets that nobody else hosts at that length. Mixcloud's player streams audio progressively from a CDN and doesn't expose a download button on the website itself, which is by design — Mixcloud's licensing deal with PRS and the major labels is built around streaming, not download. TubePull pulls the underlying audio file the player uses and writes it to a tagged audio file you can drop onto any device.

How Mixcloud serves audio (and what we do)

When you press play on mixcloud.com, the player loads the show as a series of DASH audio chunks (AAC, the M4A codec) signed with short-lived URLs that expire within minutes. The browser stitches them together at playback time — there is no single file you can right-click and save. TubePull's worker asks Mixcloud's CDN for the same chunks the player asks for, downloads the full set before the URLs expire, and joins them into a single M4A file — Mixcloud's native format, so there's no re-encode and no quality loss. The result is a clean audio file with the show title and creator name written into the tags, ready to drop into iTunes, Apple Music's local library, or any podcast app. Prefer an MP3? That's a Pro feature, because turning Mixcloud's native AAC into MP3 requires a server-side transcode (see "Mixcloud to MP3" below).

Mixcloud to MP3

"Mixcloud to MP3", "convert Mixcloud to MP3", "Mixcloud MP3 downloader" — these are the top searches, so here's exactly how it works on TubePull. Mixcloud streams AAC audio (the M4A format), so a free download hands you that native M4A: identical quality to what you hear in the player, no transcode, and it plays in Apple Music, iTunes, most podcast apps, and any modern phone. If you specifically need an MP3 file, TubePull converts Mixcloud to MP3 on the Pro plan — MP3 isn't Mixcloud's native format, so producing it means a real server-side transcode, which is why it sits behind Pro rather than the free tier. Either way we deliver Mixcloud's native quality and never upscale: the M4A bitrate matches what Mixcloud has on file for that show (up to roughly 320 kbps AAC for many uploads), so there's no fake "Mixcloud download 320kbps" padding.

Long DJ mixes and radio shows

Mixcloud is built for long-form audio — a typical set from Rinse FM, NTS, or an independent DJ runs 60 to 120 minutes, and marathon shows go longer. TubePull downloads the whole thing server-side on hosted infrastructure rather than in your browser, so there's no tab timeout to race and no memory ceiling to hit — you can close the tab and the job keeps running, then the finished file is ready when you come back. This is the same long-download pipeline that handles multi-hour Twitch VODs. Free downloads cover mixes up to 1 hour; Pro removes the length cap for full multi-hour DJ mixes and radio shows. So whether you want to download Mixcloud mixes for the commute, use it as a Mixcloud ripper for a favorite radio residency, or download DJ mixes from Mixcloud to archive a series before it rotates off the platform, the long-form case is covered.

What works

  • Any public Mixcloud show URL: mixcloud.com/<channel>/<show-slug>/
  • DJ mixes, radio shows, and podcasts uploaded by both free and Mixcloud Pro accounts
  • Live broadcasts after they finish: Mixcloud archives most live streams as regular shows within a few minutes of the broadcaster ending the stream — paste that archive URL once it appears
  • Mixcloud Select premium-tier shows that the creator has made publicly previewable (you get the preview; full Select content is paywalled)
  • Show titles, channel names, and artwork are written into the audio file's tags automatically

What does not work

  • Mixcloud Select full-length premium content that is not available as a public preview — those streams require a paid subscription on mixcloud.com itself, and the audio file is gated at the CDN
  • Shows marked private or password-protected by the uploader
  • Shows that have been removed due to DMCA takedown or the creator deleting their channel
  • Live broadcasts while they are still in progress — try again after the stream ends and Mixcloud archives it as a regular show
  • Mixcloud playlists and channel pages: paste a single show URL, not a channel's overview page or a playlist of multiple shows

Why TubePull beats offliberty and dedicated Mixcloud downloaders

A handful of small web tools advertise Mixcloud downloads, and there's a Python script called offliberty that some users run locally. The practical differences:

  • One subscription, all platforms: the same Pro plan downloads from Mixcloud, SoundCloud, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and 6 other platforms. The dedicated Mixcloud tools are Mixcloud-only.
  • No command line, no install: paste a URL, click download. The CLI tools require you to install Python and run terminal commands.
  • Built on yt-dlp: the same open-source extractor used by archival projects worldwide. When Mixcloud changes its CDN or chunking protocol, yt-dlp ships a fix within hours and TubePull picks it up on our next deploy.
  • Tags written in: the audio file lands with show title, channel name, and artwork already tagged. Many smaller Mixcloud tools return mix.m4a with empty metadata.
  • Long shows survive the download: a typical Mixcloud set is 60-120 minutes; TubePull's pipeline is built for long downloads and doesn't time out at the 30-minute mark the way some browser-based tools do.
  • Native audio, no forced transcode: free downloads save Mixcloud's native M4A untouched; MP3 conversion is available on Pro for players that need it.

Frequently asked questions

What format do I get from Mixcloud?
Free downloads give you Mixcloud's native format: M4A (AAC), the exact audio the player streams, with no transcode and no quality loss. It plays in Apple Music, iTunes, most podcast apps, and any modern phone. If you specifically need an MP3, TubePull converts Mixcloud to MP3 on the Pro plan — MP3 isn't native to Mixcloud, so producing it requires a server-side transcode. Either way we never upscale; the bitrate matches what Mixcloud has on file for that show.
Is the Mixcloud downloader free with TubePull?
Yes. Saving a Mixcloud show as its native M4A audio is free — three downloads per rolling 24 hours, shared across every platform TubePull supports. There's no transcode cost for M4A because it's the format Mixcloud already serves. The Pro plan removes the daily cap, lifts the 1-hour length limit for long mixes, and adds MP3 conversion.
Can I convert Mixcloud to MP3?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Mixcloud serves AAC (M4A) natively, so free downloads keep that native format with no re-encode. Converting to MP3 means a real server-side transcode, so MP3 output for Mixcloud is a Pro feature. If any audio player works for you, the free native M4A is the smaller, no-transcode option and plays almost everywhere.
Can I download 320 kbps from Mixcloud?
You get whatever bitrate Mixcloud has on file for that show — many uploads are served at up to roughly 320 kbps AAC in the native M4A. TubePull never upscales, so we don't pad a lower-bitrate source and label it '320'. The free M4A carries Mixcloud's real source quality; a Pro MP3 conversion is transcoded from that same source and can't add quality the original didn't have.
Do I need a Mixcloud account or Mixcloud Pro to download?
No. TubePull does not log in to Mixcloud on your behalf and works only with public shows — anything you can play on mixcloud.com without being signed in. Mixcloud Select premium-tier shows that are fully behind the paywall are not downloadable; those require a paid Mixcloud subscription on mixcloud.com itself.
Can I download a long DJ set?
Yes, with Pro. TubePull's pipeline is built for long-form audio and handles multi-hour sets without timing out — the MP3 lands as a single file. The free plan covers sets up to 1 hour; sets longer than 1 hour require the Pro plan.
Does the MP3 include the show title, channel name, and artwork?
Yes. TubePull writes ID3 tags into every MP3 it produces, populating the show title, channel/DJ name, and embedded artwork from Mixcloud's metadata. The file imports cleanly into iTunes, Apple Music's local library, Plex, Doppler, and any other player that reads ID3.
Why isn't there a download button on Mixcloud itself?
Mixcloud's licensing deal with PRS and the major record labels is built around streaming, not download — the platform compensates rights holders based on play counts. That's why mixcloud.com itself doesn't offer downloads. TubePull pulls the same audio chunks the Mixcloud player uses, joins them into a single MP3, and gives you the file. You're responsible for ensuring your personal use complies with Mixcloud's ToS and applicable copyright.
Can I download Mixcloud Select shows?
Only the public previews. Mixcloud Select is the platform's paid tier — full-length Select-only shows are gated behind a paid subscription on mixcloud.com and the audio file is blocked at the CDN, so no third-party tool can extract them. If a Select creator has made a public preview available, TubePull will download that preview.
Do Mixcloud downloads count against my daily limit?
Yes. TubePull's free plan allows 3 downloads per 24 hours across every platform we support — Mixcloud, SoundCloud, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and the others. A 45-minute DJ set counts the same as a 30-second TikTok. The window is rolling, so the oldest slot frees up 24 hours after that download. Note: free downloads are capped at 1 hour per video — longer sets require the Pro plan.
What if a Mixcloud show fails to download?
Two common causes. (1) The show was just uploaded and Mixcloud's CDN hasn't finished publishing the audio chunks yet — wait a minute and retry. (2) The show was recently DMCA'd; Mixcloud sometimes leaves the page up briefly after the audio file has already been removed from the CDN. Refresh the show on mixcloud.com — if you see a 'this show is no longer available' message, the source is gone.
How is TubePull different from other Mixcloud downloaders?
Most dedicated Mixcloud downloaders are either Python scripts you have to install and run from the command line, or small web tools with interstitial ads and unreliable uptime. TubePull is the multi-platform option: the same Pro account downloads from Mixcloud, SoundCloud, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and 6 other platforms with no command line, with proper ID3 tags out of the box. Built on yt-dlp under the hood, which gets weekly updates as Mixcloud's CDN protocol changes.
Is downloading Mixcloud shows legal?
Mixcloud shows are governed by Mixcloud's Terms of Service and by the copyright of the original DJ, broadcaster, and the labels behind the tracks mixed in. Downloading for personal listening — the same content you could listen to live on mixcloud.com — is generally permitted in many jurisdictions. Redistributing, re-uploading, or commercially exploiting copyrighted material without permission is not. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with Mixcloud's ToS and your local copyright law.
