SoundCloud Downloader — Tracks to MP3 + Full Metadata

Download SoundCloud tracks as MP3, in bulk.

FAQ

What do I get for each track? A direct MP3 download link plus full metadata — title, artist, duration, genre, artwork and engagement stats.

Can I download a whole playlist? Yes. Paste a playlist or set URL and you get one record per track inside it. Use maxItems to cap how many tracks you pull.

Can I download many tracks at once? Yes. Put as many URLs as you like in trackUrls and you get one record per track.

Do short links work? Yes — on.soundcloud.com short links, full track URLs and playlist/set URLs are all accepted.
