MP3Juices not working? Where it went
mp3juices.cc still answers, but since at least October 13, 2026 every visit we make is redirected to a different domain, freemp3juice.com, which calls itself MP3Juices. The brand has moved before: UK police had the original mp3juices.com suspended in 2014, and mp3juices.cc later stopped serving UK visitors. Many "MP3 Juice" sites now share the name, and their owners are not public.

A brand that keeps changing address
In September 2014 the domain registrar Internet.bs suspended mp3juices.com at the request of the City of London Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit, and visitors saw a police banner saying the site was under criminal investigation for online copyright infringement. The service returned on mp3juices.cc.
After the music industry's case closed YouTube-mp3.org in 2017, the RIAA named MP3Juices among the sites it would pursue next, and mp3juices.cc began telling UK visitors "This service is no longer available". It kept working elsewhere.
Today our server's checks find that mp3juices.cc forwards every request to freemp3juice.com. We cannot tell from public records whether that is the same operator or a new one, and the same is true for the many mp3juice and mp3juices lookalike domains that rank in search results.
Why it fails or behaves oddly
MP3Juices was always a search engine with a downloader attached: you type a song name, it searches YouTube or SoundCloud, then converts. So a wrong song, a bad match or a missing result can look like the site is broken when it simply picked a different video. Reviews of the current sites, mostly from vendors of competing apps, also describe pop-up ads and redirects around the download button.
Quick checks
- Notice where you landed. If the address bar no longer says mp3juices.cc, you are on a different domain, whatever the page title says.
- Search results are matched automatically. Check the title and length of the video before converting, or paste the exact YouTube link instead of a song name.
- Open the video on YouTube itself. Private, age restricted, region restricted or removed videos fail on every converter.
- Close any tab that opens on its own and never allow notifications.

Common questions
Is MP3Juices shut down?
mp3juices.cc is not offline, but it no longer serves a converter itself: it redirects to freemp3juice.com. Whether that site is the original operator is not public.
Is freemp3juice.com the official MP3Juices?
It uses the MP3Juices name and receives mp3juices.cc's traffic, but ownership of these domains is not public, so we cannot confirm it is the same service.
Is MP3Juices safe?
The sites using the name are ad-funded, and reviews describe pop-ups and redirects. The downloaded MP3 is not the risk; the ads and anything they ask you to install are.
What does AudioFetcher do differently?
You paste the exact video link, so there is no guessing which song you meant, and there are no ads. Free single videos up to 60 minutes; MP3 up to 320 kbps, M4A, Opus or FLAC, with tags, cover art and lyrics.
