How to save an X Space locally into an MP3 file

Info

Below is a useful guide if you want to extract your X Spaces into an MP3 file which then you can share with others, load it into your favorite player or just upload it as a podcast.

🔎 Step 1: Find the hidden .m3u8 link

• Open your Space URL in a web browser (e.g. Chrome).

• Open Developer Tools → go to the Network tab.

• Refresh the page.

• In the filter/search bar, type m3u8.

• You should see a request like:

    https://prod-fastly-us-west-1.video.pscp.tv/.../playlist_xxxxx.m3u8?type=replay
  

• Right-click → Copy link address.

⚠️ These links are temporary. If it doesn’t work later, repeat the steps to get a fresh one.

🎧 Step 2: Download the Space audio as AAC

• Open a terminal and run this command (replace with your full .m3u8 link inside quotes):

    ffmpeg -i "https://prod-fastly-us-west-1.video.pscp.tv/.../playlist_xxxxx.m3u8?type=replay" -c copy space.aac
  

• This will fetch all the .aac segments and stitch them into one file called space.aac.

🎼 Step 3: Convert the AAC file into MP3

• Once the download finishes, convert it to MP3:

    ffmpeg -i space.aac -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 space.mp3
  

• -q:a 2 gives you good quality with a reasonable file size.

• Your Space is now saved as space.mp3.
