Is there any way we can rip a track from (or out of) a larger mixcloud stream? (www.mixcloud.com)

I frequently listen to electronic music programs that typically play tracks that musical identifiers (like Shazam or AHA) fail to recognise.

The DJ is also not a great help because they'll back announce multiple tracks that are also hard to recognise or pinpoint. My main concern, though, is that I'll often hear a track that I'm not likely to hear again or may forget by the time it's officially available and/or recognisable.

So my question is: is it possible to rip a single track from a long stream for future reference (so Shazam will eventually recognise it or we can play it at our own leisure)?

I really like a techno track from the following stream: https://www.mixcloud.com/KissFM/the-beautiful-drive-09-nov-2023/

It starts playing at the 13 minute and 46 second mark and was hoping to be able to isolate it (if possible). I was also hoping to be able to isolate any other tracks I might encounter in any other streams heard online (when failing to recognise it).

Alternatively, if you can make sense of what the DJ says around the 36 minute mark I'd really appreciate the clarification :) !

thanks

thanks very much for that.

I don't see the required yt-dlp app (or whatever) for the iMac and the above just appears to be a link that I can't use.

Can you please clarify what I might need to do to install/download yt-dlp?

They have installation instructions on the Github
