Where Does Mixcloud Store Offline Shows?
Mixcloud Select offline shows, favorites and listening sync on mobile.
Last updated
Mixcloud keeps shows, favorites, follows and listening history on the account, with offline downloads in app private storage for Select subscribers. Free tier streams only.
Offline is the Select paywall in action: downloaded shows open without signal while subscribed and lock when it lapses. Each device downloads separately. Reinstalls restore follows and history on login while audio refetches on Wi-Fi.
Where Mixcloud stores this, by platform
App-private storage (Select shows downloaded in-app)
Per show offline saves for subscribers with account synced favorites. Free accounts stream only. Clearing app data drops audio; the shelf returns on sign in.
App sandbox (Select shows downloaded in-app)
Same subscriber cache on iPhone with background play and CarPlay. Deleting the app clears downloads while follows and history persist. Renew before offline travel.
