CLUSTER FILES-MUSIC-CLOUD · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-03-21

Encrypted music format converters

This cluster contains tools that decrypt and convert audio files from Chinese streaming services (NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo) into standard MP3 or FLAC formats. The dated history includes only two entries before the index start, making the timeline shape unreadable — the cluster predates the index or its members are largely undated. Among the members, music-geshizhuanhuan leads on traction with 27 stars, well ahead of ncm-studio (1 star) and ncm-converter (0 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
