SoundCloud playlist downloader
Paste a public playlist, set or album link. You get the full track list, tick what you want, and it all comes down as a ZIP. Downloading the whole list is free here. SoundCloud itself doesn't offer it, and several downloader sites charge for it.
Paste a SoundCloud playlist or album link
Works with public tracks. The audio goes from SoundCloud's servers straight to your browser.
Step by step
- Copy the playlist link from SoundCloud. Playlist and album links have
/sets/in them, likesoundcloud.com/artist/sets/name. - Paste it above and press Load playlist. Tracks that can't be saved show up greyed out, with the reason next to them.
- Untick anything you don't want, pick MP3 or M4A, and press Download selected as ZIP.
Tracks are fetched one at a time and numbered in playlist order inside the ZIP (01 Artist - Title.mp3). Each file is tagged with its title, artist and cover, the playlist name as the album, and its track number, so the set imports cleanly into a music library or DJ software.
Limits worth knowing
- Big playlists come down as several ZIP files of up to 40 tracks each. The ZIP is built in your browser's memory, and splitting it keeps a phone tab from crashing. You don't need to do anything for this; it happens automatically.
- Each track takes a few seconds to download. MP3 adds a conversion step on top, so a 30-track playlist in MP3 can take several minutes. M4A is noticeably faster.
- Private, Go+ preview-only and DRM-protected tracks inside a public playlist are greyed out with the reason next to them, and skipped. The rest of the playlist still downloads.
- Keep the tab open, because everything happens in this page. If you close it or the phone locks, the download stops.
Quality
Each track comes from the same 160 kbps AAC stream SoundCloud plays to everyone. M4A keeps that stream unchanged. MP3 re-encodes it at 192 kbps for older devices. The converter page explains the difference.
If something goes wrong
Can I download someone's likes or a whole profile?
No. It works with playlists and albums only. Liked tracks and full profiles aren't supported.
A track failed in the middle of the ZIP. Is the rest lost?
No. Failed tracks are marked with a cross and the ZIP is saved with everything that worked. Paste the failed track's own link on the converter page to try it again.
Does it work for private playlists?
No. Only public playlists can be loaded.
