Download SoundCloud tracks online
Individual tracks on SoundCloud copy as soundcloud.com/artist/track-name URLs or on.soundcloud.com short links from the mobile Share sheet. Paste whichever public link you copied and SMDownloader inspects the audio stream SoundCloud exposes to logged-out listeners. The download preserves the stream SoundCloud exposes for that track, so a 320 kbps upload stays at its original bitrate while lower-quality sources are never artificially upsampled.
How to download a SoundCloud track
- 1. Copy the SoundCloud link — Open the track in your browser or app and copy the URL from the address bar or Share → Copy link. Short on.soundcloud.com links work directly.
- 2. Paste into SMDownloader — Paste the soundcloud.com or on.soundcloud.com URL above and click Download. SMDownloader resolves the audio stream on our servers.
- 3. Save the audio — Preview the track in your browser player, then save the MP3 or Opus file to your device storage.
Why use SMDownloader
- Direct stream extraction. Extracts the public progressive MP3 or Opus stream delivered by SoundCloud CDN edges without re-encoding.
- on.soundcloud.com resolver. Expands mobile short links via HTTP 302 redirects to locate the underlying artist and track permalink.
- ID3 metadata preservation. Retains track title, uploader handle, waveform duration, and cover artwork embedded in the audio preview.

Common questions
How do I download a SoundCloud track?
Copy a public track URL from soundcloud.com or on.soundcloud.com, paste it above, click Download, preview the audio file, then save through your browser. Works on iPhone, Android, and desktop when the track is public.
Can I download SoundCloud to MP3 at 320kbps?
Only when SoundCloud itself serves the track at 320 kbps — SMDownloader never upsamples or re-encodes to hit a bitrate number. Artist uploads are often 320 kbps; label and rights-managed releases may stream at a lower rate or block downloading entirely. Preview the file and check its properties after saving; converting it again locally cannot add quality back.
Why did my SoundCloud track fail to resolve?
Common causes include track removal, geo-blocking by the distributor, uploader privacy settings, or SoundCloud Go+ DRM protection. If the track requires a paid subscription to stream, logged-out servers cannot access the audio.
Do on.soundcloud.com mobile short links work?
Yes. Paste mobile share links directly. Our edge servers follow the HTTP 302 redirect chain to discover the canonical soundcloud.com/artist/track permalink.
What audio formats does SoundCloud provide?
SoundCloud serves audio as progressive MP3 (128 kbps) or HLS fragmented Opus/AAC depending on the client. SMDownloader extracts the cleanest available public stream for direct browser playback.
Can I download private tracks with a secret token?
Tracks with secret sharing tokens (containing ?secret_token=s-...) may resolve if public token access is granted by SoundCloud API, but standard private or subscriber-only tracks are blocked.
Can I paste a playlist URL on the track downloader?
Playlist /sets/ URLs work better on the SoundCloud Playlist Downloader, which lists each track in the set. Single-track URLs belong on this page.
Can I save tracks on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Open this tool in mobile Safari or Chrome, paste the track URL, preview the audio, and save directly to your phone's files or media player.
