Ximalaya audio, ready to play anywhere
The original track file
SaveArrow saves the file Ximalaya serves for that track, usually M4A. The sound stays as it was published, and the file plays in most audio apps on iPhone, Android and computers.
MP3 for any player
Need MP3 for an older player, a car stereo or an app that doesn’t open M4A? Choose MP3 and SaveArrow converts the track while it downloads. The MP3 option is always there.
One episode or chapter per link
Each ximalaya.com/sound link is one track, such as a podcast episode or a chapter of an audiobook. Paste the link of each track you want to keep for offline listening.
Free tracks only
Paid and VIP albums and tracks, and live audio, can’t be saved. Many audiobooks and courses on Ximalaya belong to their publishers, so save only what you may use.
