Mixcloud is a popular platform for discovering and sharing DJ mixes and recorded radio shows. Available on iOS, tvOS, Apple CarPlay, Android and the web, it's a great tool to provide on-demand content to your listeners. With Radio.co's Mixcloud integration you can publish your pre-recorded live events or uploaded DJ Mixes directly to your profile with just a few clicks.
Who can use this feature?
Your station must be on the Standard or higher plan, Lite is not supported. You can upgrade by heading to Settings > Billing > Change Plan in your dashboard.
If your station has collaborators, anyone with Station Owner or Station Manager roles will be able to publish to Mixcloud.

Publishing Recordings & DJ Mixes
In your Radio.co Dashboard:
If you want to publish a DJ mix you have uploaded to Radio.co, head to Media > Tracks and locate it in the list.
If you want to publish a live recording made within Radio.co, head to Media > Recordings.
We pass the current track name and artwork to Mixcloud upon submission. If you need to adjust these before submitting to Mixcloud you can do so by clicking Actions (...) > Track Editor.
Next click the Actions (...) button again then Publish to Mixcloud. A popup will appear:
Here you can edit the track title, add up to 5 Mixcloud tags and a description for your Mixcloud page. To publish, click Submit. This will begin the upload process.
If you're a Mixcloud Pro subscriber, you can also tag up to 2 of your invited hosts in your mix. To manage your hosts, visit your Mixcloud dashboard.
You can see the status of uploads by the cloud icon next to your recordings as follows:
Red - Waiting to upload
Orange - Upload processing
Green - Upload complete
Once an upload is complete, if you head to Publish to Mixcloud within the Actions (...) menu again, you will find a direct link to the mix.
You can also reset the track in your media library. This is useful if you need to reupload the track for any reason.
Once the upload has processed you will find it on Mixcloud. This will be available to your followers via the Mixcloud iOS or Android Apps as well as Mixcloud.com

Mixes must be over 20 minutes in duration to be uploaded using the Radio.co X Mixcloud integration.
