How to copy a SoundCloud track link — step by step
- 01
Open the track or playlist
Go to soundcloud.com or the SoundCloud app and open a public track or playlist you want to save. Private or invite-only sets will not work in SMDownloader.
- 02
Copy the SoundCloud URL
On desktop, copy the full address bar URL. On mobile, tap Share under the track or playlist, then choose Copy link.
- 03
Check the link shape
Single tracks use soundcloud.com/artist/track-name. Playlists use soundcloud.com/artist/sets/playlist-name. Short on.soundcloud.com share links also work when pasted as copied.
- 04
Paste on www.smdownloader.com
Open www.smdownloader.com, paste the SoundCloud download link into the URL field, and click Download. For playlists, each track appears in the preview — save tracks individually.
Example URLs
https://soundcloud.com/artist/track-namehttps://soundcloud.com/artist/sets/playlist-namehttps://on.soundcloud.com/abc123When a track won't download
Some label releases are DRM-protected or stream-only even when they play in your browser. User-uploaded public tracks work best. Open the link in a private window — if it won't play without logging in, SMDownloader cannot fetch it.
Common questions
What URL do I paste in a SoundCloud downloader?
Copy the public soundcloud.com or on.soundcloud.com link from Share or your browser bar, paste it into the downloader field on www.smdownloader.com, then click Download.
How do I find my SoundCloud track URL?
Open the public track on soundcloud.com — the browser address bar shows soundcloud.com/artist/track-name. On mobile, tap Share → Copy link to copy the same URL.
Does on.soundcloud.com work as a SoundCloud download link?
Yes. Short share links from the SoundCloud app resolve to the same public track or playlist. Paste the full copied URL on SMDownloader without trimming characters.
Can I copy a SoundCloud playlist link?
Yes for public playlists. Copy the soundcloud.com/artist/sets/… URL, paste on SMDownloader, and save each track from the preview list.
Why won't my SoundCloud link download?
Some label releases are stream-only or DRM-protected. User-uploaded public tracks work best. If the link needs a login in a private browser window, SMDownloader cannot fetch it.
