SCloudConvert
Free SoundCloud to MP3 converter and downloader
A browser-based tool to download public SoundCloud tracks and playlists as MP3 or M4A files with metadata, free and without signup.
About this launch
SCloudConvert is a small independent browser tool for saving public SoundCloud tracks, playlists and cover art. Users paste a SoundCloud link and choose to download as MP3 or M4A format, with title, artist and cover art automatically included in the file. Whole playlists can be downloaded as a ZIP file at no cost.
The tool works by taking a SoundCloud link, looking up the stream address through SoundCloud's public API, and letting your browser download audio directly from SoundCloud's servers. MP3 conversion uses the open-source LAME encoder running in your browser. Audio never passes through the operator's server, so no copies are kept of what users download.
SCloudConvert is not made by SoundCloud and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SoundCloud. It is run by an independent operator with no public office. The site is funded by ads and has no sign-up requirement or daily limits.

Shopper questions
Is it free?
Yes. There are no sign-ups and no daily limits. The site is funded by ads.
Does it work on a phone?
It runs in recent versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari on phones as well as computers. On phones, M4A is recommended as it skips the conversion step, making it faster and using less memory.
Will the file show the right title and cover in my music app?
Yes. MP3 files get ID3 tags and M4A files get iTunes-style tags including title, artist, the SoundCloud link, and the 500 × 500 cover. Tracks from a playlist also get the playlist name as the album and their track number.
Why is the MP3 192 kbps and not 320 kbps?
The source is 160 kbps AAC. A 320 kbps MP3 made from it would be twice the size and sound the same. 192 kbps is enough to keep what is in the source without wasting space.
Why does a track say preview only?
That track is a SoundCloud Go+ track. Free listeners only get a 30-second clip, so a full-length file is not available.
