Short on.soundcloud.com links expand automatically — paste them as copied.
What to expect
Profile URLs aren't supported — paste a direct track or playlist link. Some label-distributed or DRM-protected tracks may not return a file even when they play in the browser; user-uploaded public tracks work best. Playlist URLs return one download per track (save each file individually).
Media types we handle on SoundCloud: Tracks, Playlists, Audio.

Common questions
How do I download a SoundCloud track?
Copy a public soundcloud.com or on.soundcloud.com track URL, paste it above, click Download, preview the audio stream, then save through your browser. DRM-protected or private tracks will not work.
Track vs playlist — same steps?
Yes. Paste either a single track URL or a /sets/ playlist link. Playlists show each track in the preview so you can save files one by one.
Do on.soundcloud.com short links work?
Yes. Paste short share links exactly as copied — SMDownloader expands them to the full soundcloud.com URL before download.
What format do I get?
SoundCloud may return MP3, M4A, Opus, or an HLS playlist depending on the track. Preview the file before you save — quality matches what SoundCloud serves to logged-out listeners.
Why did a track fail?
The uploader may have disabled downloads, or the release may be rights-managed. Open the link in a private browser tab — if it won't play publicly, we can't fetch it.
Track vs playlist tools?
Use the downloaders on this page — dedicated track and playlist tools each target that link type with tailored steps and FAQs.
Do I need a SoundCloud account to download?
No account on SMDownloader — but the track or playlist must be public. Go+ exclusive or login-walled pages cannot be fetched by our servers either.
Why won't my SoundCloud URL download?
Common causes: download disabled by the uploader, stream-only rights-managed releases, private tracks, or an incomplete URL. Confirm the link plays in an incognito window, paste the full Share → Copy link, then retry once.
