In this era of music streaming, encrypted music formats often become an obstacle for us to use offline. Whether it is driving, editing, or learning, MP3's universal practicality is still the primary choice.
Download MP3 format within the app
As long as the music copyright is approved, the most direct way is to operate in the Kugou App. After entering the song details page, click Download or More Options, and carefully look for the "MP3" format option on the sound quality selection interface. Some tracks that are in the public domain or have independent copyrights on the platform will be open to this format. After the download is successful, you can find these MP3 files in "Local Download" under the "My" page or in the file manager of your phone, and copy them directly for use.
Professional Audio Format Converter
If you have downloaded KGM or KGMA encrypted files, professional conversion software is an efficient choice. Tools such as "Convert Cat MP3 Converter" can directly recognize and decode Kugou's proprietary encryption format. Its operation is intuitive, import files, select output formats like MP3, and set sound quality parameters. This type of software can usually maintain the sampling rate and bit rate of the original music, achieve batch processing, and greatly save time on manual operations.
Use common format conversion software
For those users who are not familiar with professional tools, general-purpose software such as "Format Factory" is a zero-threshold choice. After opening the software, select "Convert to MP3" in the audio category, and then add your KGM file. In the output settings, it is recommended to set the bit rate to 320kbps to obtain better sound quality, and finally specify the save folder and start the conversion. The entire process does not require complex knowledge and is suitable for processing a large number of songs at one time.
Batch transcoding with scripts
For those users who pursue efficiency and automation, they can learn and use the FFmpeg command line tool. It's packed with powerful features and it's free. A typical command is this: ffmpeg -i input.kgma -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k output.mp3 . You can write multiple commands like the above into a batch file to achieve automatic transcoding of the entire folder of songs. Although you need to learn simple commands in the early stages, once you master them, you will be able to handle batch conversion problems once and for all.
Utilize online conversion sites
If the file itself is not encrypted, or you have already decrypted it through other means, then an online conversion website is a convenient temporary solution. Go to a website such as Audio-Converter.org, drag the file into the upload area, select the output format as MP3 and download it. This method does not require the installation of software and is suitable for processing a small number of files. However, you must pay attention to privacy issues and never upload sensitive or personal works with clear copyright ownership.
System recording expediency
When all direct conversion methods fail, when you only need to keep a copy of the audio within the legal scope for personal study or reference, you can consider recording within the system. In the sound settings of the Windows system, enable "Stereo Mix" as the recording device. Then use any recording software, such as Audacity, to set the input source to stereo mix, then play the song in Kugou and start recording simultaneously. Finally, the recording content is exported into an MP3 file. Although the sound quality may be slightly lost, it is enough to meet the needs of personal use in non-professional situations.
