Your MP3 library

Build an offline library from your SoundCloud MP3s

A few habits keep a growing collection of SoundCloud MP3 files easy to browse, search and back up.

  1. Keep one SoundCloud folder

    Move each new MP3 from Downloads into a single Music / SoundCloud folder. Your music player will find everything in one place.

  2. Let the tags do the work

    Every SCSaver MP3 carries its song title and cover art, so music apps show the right name and artwork without any editing.

  3. Sort big collections into sub-folders

    Grouping by genre, mood or year, like Deep House or Road Trip, makes a large SoundCloud MP3 library quick to browse.

  4. Back it up

    SoundCloud uploads can disappear. Keep a copy of your folder on an external drive or a cloud service like Google Drive or OneDrive.

Guide

SoundCloud MP3 files, explained

Does SoundCloud give you MP3 files?

Only sometimes. When an artist turns on downloads, you get whatever file they uploaded, which may be MP3, WAV or another format. Most tracks have downloads switched off, and the app only offers offline playback inside SoundCloud. To get an MP3 of any public track, a tool like SCSaver saves it for you.

Why MP3 is the right format for a SoundCloud library

SoundCloud streams are already compressed, so a 320kbps MP3 keeps everything the stream contains. MP3 files are small enough to carry thousands of songs on a phone and are supported by every music app, car and speaker. For a listening library, there is no practical reason to use anything heavier.

128kbps or 320kbps?

Free SoundCloud MP3 downloads come at 128kbps, which sounds fine on phones and earbuds. With a Supporter pass you can save 320kbps MP3s, the highest MP3 setting, which is a good choice for big speakers or if you plan to keep the files for years.

Getting MP3s from a whole playlist

To fill your library faster, paste a SoundCloud playlist or album link. Every song in it appears in a list, ready to save as MP3. Free users can save the first 10, and Supporters can download up to 1,000 as one ZIP.

Keeping your files tidy over time

Because each SCSaver MP3 is named after the song and carries its title and artwork, your library stays organised without extra tools. If a song has a long or messy title on SoundCloud, you can rename the file afterwards and the music still plays the same.

Save music fairly

Use SoundCloud MP3 downloads for personal listening, and only for music you are allowed to keep, like free downloads and your own uploads. If an artist sells their music, buying it is the best way to say thanks.
