How to download from SoundCloud
Audio rows only. There is no video, so none is offered.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
How it works
- 1
Copy the track address
soundcloud.com/artist/track, or an on.soundcloud.com short link.
- 2
Paste it and press Start
You get MP3 at three bitrates, and WAV on short tracks.
- 3
Save
It plays in any music app.
Check the artist’s own download button first
SoundCloud lets an artist enable a download button on a track, and where they have, that is the better route: it hands you the file they uploaded rather than a re-encode of the stream. It is also the one they chose to offer.
This page is for the tracks where that button is not there.
A phantom MP4 row we once showed
For a while SoundCloud tracks came back with a bogus "MP4" row. A fallback written for LinkedIn — which sometimes publishes video without declaring a format list — was firing on every URL, including audio-only ones with no video stream at all.
The fallback now requires a real video stream before it offers a video row, which is why a SoundCloud track correctly shows audio and nothing else.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no video option?
Because there is no video. A row offering one would be lying about the source.
Is the MP3 a re-encode?
Yes. SoundCloud streams Opus or AAC, so MP3 means converting rather than copying.
Do private tracks work?
No, nor anything behind SoundCloud Go.
