SoundCloud Playlist Tools
Look up any SoundCloud playlist, then batch convert up to 20 audio files to MP3, WAV or FLAC in one pass. Everything runs in your browser, free and with nothing uploaded.
1. Look up a playlist
2. Batch convert your files
Files are converted one after another inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
How SoundCloud playlist downloads actually work
Every SoundCloud playlist is a collection of individual tracks, and each track carries its own permission. SoundCloud's help pages are blunt about the limits: downloads happen one track at a time, only where the artist has switched them on, and a playlist can never be downloaded as a whole.
Go and Go+ subscribers get offline listening instead, which is a different thing. Those saved tracks live inside the SoundCloud app and disappear when you sign out, so you can't move them to a USB stick or into a DJ library. If what you really want is the same playlist on another service, you can move SoundCloud playlists to Spotify without downloading a single file.
Getting a playlist's worth of tracks, properly
- Open the playlist with the lookup above, then work through it on SoundCloud.
- Save the tracks that allow it. A download button under the waveform means the artist is offering the original file, at full quality.
- Batch convert what you collected using the converter above, so everything ends up in the same format for your player, DJ software or phone.
For the rest, buying the track or following the artist's own link is the honest route. Many of them sell the file directly, and a download from them sounds better than anything a stream ripper produces.
What the batch converter is good for
- A folder of WAVs from a session that needs to become MP3s for the car or for sending around.
- Free downloads in mixed formats that you want tidied into one format for a DJ USB.
- Your own uploads, converted to FLAC for archiving or WAV for editing.
- Podcast files that need to be smaller before uploading somewhere with a size limit.
Not sure which output to pick? WAV vs MP3 vs FLAC walks through it, and where to play your files covers what each device will actually read.
