Basically, Mixcloud, Mixcloud Select, and Mixcloud Live, all seem to use a lowpass at 16538 Hz – 17071 Hz which in LAME encoder terminology is the equivalent of an mp3 at 130kbps CBR or an mp3 at 120–150kbps VBR.
Our ears can't hear above those frequencies actually, but the problem is that during the encoding in such low bitrates most encoders do those annoying glitches in high frequencies...

The underlying HLS stream .m3u8 is publicly accessible since no registration is needed to watch Mixcloud Live.
You should be able to save to disk via something like
ffmpeg -i http://.../master.m3u8 -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc output.mp4 Then from the mp4 container you can demux the audio without re-encoding.
The only tricky part is to get the master.m3u8 URL where the HLS stream comes from, as I think everytime it changes.
It'd be so great if Mixcloud Live saved the videos to be available later, or for offline view.

Thanks again to moodmosaic for the raw material.
I think the first 9mins where John messed up on Mixcloud will be lost forever (which would take us upto around 3hrs45).
Firstly, John hasnt released a cover art in the same style as the last ones.
