Convert NCM Music Files to MP3/FLAC with a Free GUI Tool

After switching from Apple Music to NetEase Cloud Music, liked songs downloaded in the proprietary NCM format become inaccessible to other players. This guide explains how to convert NCM files to MP3 or FLAC using the free ncmdump‑gui tool.

1. Download the GUI tool

Visit the release page and download the appropriate version for macOS or Windows:

https://git.taurusxin.com/taurusxin/ncmdump-gui/releases

If the link is unavailable, send the keyword “ncmgui” to the author’s WeChat public account to receive the download URL.

2. Download the music

Use NetEase Cloud Music to download the desired tracks, selecting a suitable audio quality and disabling the “organize by artist” folder option to simplify later processing.

3. Batch convert with the GUI

Open the ncmdump‑gui application and follow these steps:

Add the downloaded NCM files.

Optionally set a custom output folder; otherwise the converted files will be placed alongside the source files.

Click “Start” and wait for the conversion to finish.

Check the target folder to confirm that MP3/FLAC files were created, then open a few files to verify playback. Most converted files will lack embedded cover art and lyrics.

4. Upload to cloud storage

Upload the converted files to NetEase Cloud’s music library, create a personal playlist, and add the tracks after the upload completes. Additionally, back up the files to another cloud service such as Alibaba Cloud Drive.

Conclusion

By converting NCM files to standard audio formats and backing them up to cloud drives, you can maintain a personal music library that can be easily imported into any future music app.
