This wikiHow article shows you how to download songs eligible for download off SoundCloud. You can also use a third-party website (some of which may not be secure), but be advised that downloading songs off SoundCloud without permission violates copyright laws.
Ways to Download Music from SoundCloud
- If a SoundCloud artist makes a song eligible for download, you can download it through the official website or with a third-party app.
- You can also use an online MP3 converter to download songs.
- Downloading songs without permission can violate copyright laws.

1
Navigate to SoundCloud.com. Open your browser and go to https://soundcloud.com. This will open the SoundCloud home page.
- You can also use the Android, iPhone, and iPad mobile app to download eligible music from SoundCloud.
- Eligible songs are those that the original uploader marked as downloadable.
2
Log in to your SoundCloud account. If you aren't automatically logged into SoundCloud, you'll need to log in to access the download feature for eligible songs.
- Just click Sign in in the top-right corner of the page, enter your email address, click Continue, enter your password, and click Sign in.
- If you don't have a SoundCloud account, you can create one by clicking Create account in the top-right corner of the page and following the on-screen prompts.

Click the search bar at the top of the page. The search box should say, "Search for artists, bands, tracks, podcasts.[1]"
4
Search for a song. Type in a song's name, then press ↵ Enter. This will search SoundCloud for your song.
5
Click on the song's name. This will open the song's page.
6
Look for the Download button. If downloads are enabled for the song, you'll see the Download button below the song's waveform.[2]4
- If you don't see a Download button here, it could be an option listed when you click the More tab, or you can't download the song without using a third-party website.[3]
7
Click Download. Doing so will prompt the song's file to download onto your computer, though you may first have to select a download location on your computer.[4]
- If the songs you like aren't available for download, you can always pay for a SoundCloud Go+ account that will let you listen to music offline.[5]

If you're on Chrome, I recommend the "SoundCloud Downloader Free" extension. It adds a download button that works for every song.
