How to download a SoundCloud track

2 min read · Works in Chrome

Quick answer

Open the track on SoundCloud, open FileSnatch, and download it from the Audio tab. It's saved as an audio file named after the track.

The problem

Only some artists turn on SoundCloud's download button. Converter websites are slow, full of ads, and often break.

How FileSnatch helps

FileSnatch reads the track's page and saves SoundCloud's own audio.
The file is named after the artist and track.
Need a different format? The converter makes MP3, M4A and more, on your computer.

Step by step

Open the track
Open the track's own page (soundcloud.com/artist/track).
Open FileSnatch
Click the FileSnatch icon in the toolbar, or press Alt+Shift+M.
Download
Go to the Audio tab and click Download.

Good to know

Questions

Does it work with playlists?

Open each track, or play the playlist and save the tracks from the Audio tab as they load.

Is it MP3?

It's SoundCloud's own audio; convert it to MP3 with the converter if you need to.
