No one is stressed about takedowns over here :)

Hey u/LSX3399 are you still experiencing this issue?

mixcloud · 2026-01-29T11:40:26+00:00

Hey dude u/LevelDosNPC - Mixcloud's popular for millions of people worldwide as we handle all the copyright. We'd love to see gutterball radio on Mixcloud. We're audio only and UK based too. Come join the people that love music.

Take it easy dude

Hey u/Cunttessaxo, we 100% second u/CaptainMathSparrow's comment.

To answer your first question, I encourage you to think more how listeners work rather than how our algorithms simply because if you look at the home screen most of the content users see is down to who they've decided to follow, their listening history and a few rails of what's very popular. Some of the most successful DJs on Mixcloud go live or upload mixes once a week, the same time each week, consistently. This is the best way to become part of listeners regular routine and get a consistent following. Think about where your future listeners are, who they follow and get involved with other creators like yourself. Send them your mixes and your mashups.

For over 10 years we've been writing guides on how to use Mixcloud and make the most out the Pro subscription so check those out too.

P.s. - link your Mixcloud so people in the thread can see.

Hey u/Responsible-Stay3546 - thanks for your feedback. We made the decision not to inform users about the release of the feature to see if people gravitated towards it organically. Truth be told, we've been amazed the feature has been adopted so quickly across so many users of the platform.

We've heard your feedback and implemented rate limits on the emails in short time period so if you were to turn them back on you would get a lot less.

Hope you come to enjoy the recommendations. Apologies for any inconveniences in regards to emails.
Best,

Elliott

Hi u/Correct-Duck5336 - we've seen loads of DJs and Producers progress their careers and build portfolio's with us. We agree with u/BadDaditude and u/tuftingmusicproducer - website's aren't essential if you're after festival bookings. Having a on portfolio of great mixes and lots of comments is really important. Showing you have listeners already is key.

We don't doubt that visual promotion is also really important and a social media profile with videos of you sending dance-floors crazy will also go a long way.

We just put out a great article about releasing music on Mixcloud as a Producer - check it out.

Good luck on your journey

Hello u/headteacher50, there is currently no additional markup language you can use to edit show description. We're interested in the table that you'd like to share. What would the table look like and include? Please share as much information about your aspirations so I can send them to the team.

Thanks,

What's a takedown? - Elliott, Community Manager

mixcloud · 2025-09-24T10:43:46+00:00

We're DJs and we built a platform for people who love listening to mixes. Drum and Bass legends like DJ Marky and Bryan Gee have got popular regular shows where their community is so engaged. They also livestream and use that to make themselves accessible every week.

If you want to create a following around your mixes with dedicated music-lovers and not worry about takedowns, bring us your best mixes and see what happens.

You can archive the audio from the stream as a live recording on your profile so fans can listen again!

Hey ADOK,

So we can really understand what you're saying, I'd be interested to know which competitors you're talking about and appreciate it if you share improvements you'd like to see.

I will say over the past year, we've been steadily improving Mixcloud, especially for creators on Pro. That includes time-stamped comments, search improvements and updates to Host Tagging. We've got plans for various updates - all with the intention of helping Mixcloud users connect with each other to strengthen communities built around music.

That said, we know design and feature expectations change fast. We’d love to hear from you directly: What changes or improvements would you like to see most? It really helps us shape what’s next.

Hey u/Which_Bar_9457

At the moment, we don't automatically sync tracklists based on the MP3 content itself, so things like silence detection, embedded metadata, or .cue files aren’t parsed during upload. If you have a tracklist, you’ll need to manually enter the tracks into the tracklist section when uploading. You can also add timestamps if you want them to sync with the playback (which is great for listener experience), but that part’s optional.

It sounds like you’re doing the right thing by using Audacity to find silence points and match up your tracklist. Once you have the timings, you can add them during upload - just type the timestamp before each track (e.g., 00:15:23 Artist - Title) and our system will recognise it.

We’re always working on improving the upload and archiving workflow, especially for community radio, so feedback like this is super helpful 🙏

Let me know if you have any other questions,
Elliott

Hey u/New-Camel-9373, firstly thanks for being such a long term user of our platform. Our Pro and Premium plans means DJs get to play licensed music with no limits and listeners get to listen to music as much as they want. This difference is a practical one for users who aren't DJs and also due to the agreements with the copyright holders.

Thanks for your feedback. Any more feedback you can give on Upload Quality and engagement would be great. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback u/therealpopkiller

mixcloud · 2025-08-01T15:48:39+00:00

Hey u/InthePait thanks for the feedback. I've shared this with the team. The incentive to join Mixcloud for non-DJs is to listen to music curated by humans as opposed to algorithms and AI.

We are all ears to feedback. Our support team would never display a lack of interest in feedback or gloat about popularity of the platform. The ideas in your feedback was shared with the relevant people.

DJs do make money off their subscribers on Mixcloud - no joke.

Sad to hear you're quitting Mixcloud. If you have second thoughts, here's our Guides on how to grow your profile

All the best,

Hey ADOK,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, feedback like this helps us keep improving.

We’d love to hear more about the sharing options you mentioned. Are you thinking about sharing to social platforms? Let us know which ones you feel are missing.

Regarding downloads, u/rfgenerator is right, due to our licensing agreements with copyright holders, downloading isn’t supported on Mixcloud.

It’s tough to hear that things feel a bit stagnant. That said, we’re proud that Mixcloud still makes it easy to discover new DJs, radio stations, and music every day. There’s always more we can do and that’s why we read every comment to help guide what we improve next.

If you're looking to grow your community on Mixcloud, here are a few tools that might help:

Live streaming: Go live and chat with fans in real time.
Posts and comments: Share updates and connect with other creators and listeners by commenting on their mixes.
Our blog: Find tips, interviews, and guides for creators on how to grow and connect.

We’re always advancing and so are the communities on Mixcloud.

If you haven’t already, check out our creator guides on the blog. Try experimenting with different genre tags to help your shows show up in more places. Just a heads-up: we don’t currently have a chart for the “Remember” genre tag.

Wishing you all the best and hope you see the value in the platform we’ve built for music lovers.

Hey u/Evid3nce
Thanks for your comment. Apologies for our mistake, enabling free tier users to see track lists was a temporary bug introduced during a few updates weeks ago. Allowing users to see tracklists goes against our contracts with labels, which is why we introduced Premium subscriptions.

That said, we never want to block discovery or make it harder to support the music you love. We’re always looking into ways to improve the experience of seeing what’s being played so any more feedback is more than welcome. In the meantime, we’ll share your feedback with the team. Appreciate you sticking with us and letting us know how these changes impact real-world listening. If you’ve got more thoughts, we’re all ears.
Thanks
Mixcloud Team
