SoundCloud tracks as tagged MP3s

The real source, stated plainly

SoundCloud streams AAC at 160 kbps (and a 96 kbps copy). We convert from the better one and show each MP3's size before you save. A 320 kbps MP3 keeps everything in it; it cannot add what the stream never had.

Title and artwork filled in

Tracks land in your music app named, with their cover.

Works in a phone browser

Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android. No app to install.

What it cannot fetch

Go+ tracks beyond their 30-second preview, and private or removed tracks.

Official download first

If the artist enabled SoundCloud's download button, that gives the original file.

Convert SoundCloud to MP3

Paste the link of a SoundCloud track and you see its title, its length and the size each MP3 will be. Pick a bitrate, press download, and the MP3 arrives with the track title, the artist and the cover art already filled in. It runs in your browser, so there is no app or extension to install. Short on.soundcloud.com links from the app's Share button work as well as full soundcloud.com addresses.

SoundCloud to MP3 320kbps: what it really means

We checked four SoundCloud tracks and every one was streamed in two versions: AAC at 160 kbps and AAC at 96 kbps. We always convert from the 160 kbps version. A 320 kbps MP3 made from it keeps everything that is in the stream, but it cannot sound better than the stream itself; it is simply a bigger file. For listening, 128 or 256 kbps sounds the same and saves space. Pick 320 kbps if you will edit the track and export it again, since each lossy save after that costs a little.

How to download a SoundCloud song

On a computer, copy the address of the track page from the browser's address bar. In the SoundCloud app, tap Share and then Copy link. Paste the link above and press Convert. An artist page is not a track, so open one of their tracks first.

On an iPhone, open this page in Safari; the MP3 goes to the Files app, under Downloads. On Android, use Chrome or another browser and the file lands in Downloads, where music apps find it.

Download a SoundCloud playlist or album

Paste the link of a playlist or album (an address with /sets/ in it) and its tracks are listed with their titles and lengths, up to 50 at a time. Choose a bitrate once, then save each track you want with one click; there is no need to go back to SoundCloud for every link. Tracks that only play as a 30-second preview are marked in the list, so you know before you download.

Saving just part of a track

Set a start and an end time to keep one section, such as a single track from a long DJ mix or a few minutes of a podcast. SoundCloud streams audio in small pieces, so for a cut we fetch the whole track first and trim it on our side. Long mixes take a little longer to cut than to save whole.

What cannot be downloaded

  • SoundCloud Go+ tracks play only as a 30-second preview to listeners who are not subscribed, and that preview is all we can receive.
  • Private tracks and tracks that have been removed.

Check for SoundCloud's own download button

Some artists switch on downloads for a track. When they do, a Download option appears on the track page on SoundCloud, and it gives you the exact file the artist uploaded, often a WAV or a high bitrate MP3. When that button is there, use it: it is better than any conversion.

Only download tracks you made, tracks the artist has allowed you to save, or tracks clearly licensed for reuse. This site has no connection with SoundCloud.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert SoundCloud to MP3?

Copy the track link (in the app: Share, then Copy link), paste it on this page and press Convert. Choose a bitrate and the MP3 downloads with its title and cover art.

Can I download SoundCloud as 320kbps MP3?

Yes, but SoundCloud streams at about 160 kbps, so a 320 kbps MP3 is larger without sounding better. 128 or 256 kbps is enough for listening.

Does the MP3 include the cover art?

Yes. The track title, the artist and the SoundCloud artwork are written into the file.

Can I download a whole SoundCloud playlist?

Paste the playlist or album link and its tracks are listed, up to 50 at a time. Pick a bitrate, then save each track with one click.

Why is my download only 30 seconds long?

The track is for SoundCloud Go+ subscribers. Anyone not subscribed hears a 30-second preview, and that preview is all we can receive.

Do on.soundcloud.com short links work?

Yes. Short links from the app's Copy link button work as well as full soundcloud.com addresses.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in the browser. On iPhone use Safari and the MP3 goes to the Files app; on Android it goes to Downloads. There is no app to install.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no account to create and nothing to install.
