Step-by-step

How to Download a SoundCloud Playlist to MP3

Three steps. Under a minute for most playlists.

1

Find Your Playlist and Copy the URL

Go to SoundCloud and open the playlist you want to download. On desktop, copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar. On the SoundCloud app, tap the three-dot menu on the playlist page and select Share, then Copy Link.

Important: Make sure you copy the playlist URL — not the URL of a single track inside it. The playlist URL contains the word "sets" in it. A track URL does not. If you paste the wrong one you will only get one song.
2

Paste and Convert

Come back to sctomp3.org, make sure the Playlist tab is selected, paste your URL into the input box and hit Download ZIP. Our tool fetches every track in the playlist from SoundCloud's CDN and packages them together.

10 tracks — about 15 seconds
50 tracks — around 60–90 seconds
You will see a progress indicator while it runs — do not close the tab.
3

Your ZIP Downloads Automatically

When processing is complete your browser downloads the ZIP file automatically. On desktop it lands in your Downloads folder. On iPhone it saves to the Files app. On Android it goes to Internal Storage → Downloads.

Open the ZIP and you will find every track named, numbered and ready. Drag the folder straight into your music library.
🍎

iPhone / iOS

Use Safari, not Chrome. iOS handles downloads through Safari's built-in download manager cleanly. Chrome on iPhone sometimes blocks automatic downloads.

🤖

Android

Chrome or Firefox both work. Your ZIP saves to Internal Storage → Downloads automatically.


Getting the right link

How to Find Your SoundCloud Playlist URL

This is where most people go wrong. They copy a track URL from inside the playlist and wonder why only one song downloads. Here is exactly how to get the right URL every time.

🖥️

On Desktop or Laptop

Open SoundCloud in your browser and go to the playlist page itself — not a track inside it. The URL should look like this:

soundcloud.com/username/sets/playlist-name
That word "sets" confirms it is a playlist URL. If you don't see "sets" in the URL, you're on a track page — not the playlist page.
📱

On the SoundCloud App

Navigate to the playlist. Tap the three-dot menu at the top right of the playlist page — not the three dots on an individual track. Select Share → Copy Link.

Tapping Share on a track that is currently playing gives you the track link, not the playlist link. Always go to the playlist page first.
🔐

Private Playlists

If the playlist is set to private, the owner needs to share it with you using the secret link — a URL with a long token after the playlist name.

As long as you have that link, our converter can process it. A playlist with no secret link and set to private cannot be downloaded by any converter.


Your downloaded files

What's Inside Your Downloaded ZIP File

Most converter tools give you a folder of randomly named files — numeric IDs, site name prefixes, no order. Here is exactly what our ZIP looks like when it arrives.

📁 your-playlist-name.zip
01 - Artist Name - Track Title.mp3
02 - Artist Name - Track Title.mp3
03 - Artist Name - Track Title.mp3
... and so on for every track
100 - Artist Name - Track Title.mp3
File Naming
## - Artist - Title.mp3

ZIP File Size — Rough Guide
Tracks Approximate Size Visual
10 tracks 35 – 45 MB
20 tracks 70 – 90 MB
50 tracks 175 – 225 MB

Actual size varies depending on track length. A 6-minute DJ edit takes more space than a 3-minute track at the same bitrate.


What you actually get

What Audio Quality Do Playlist Downloads Get?

Same quality per track whether you download a single song or a full playlist. The source does not change.

SoundCloud Free
160kbps
AAC · What SoundCloud streams to free accounts. This is the actual ceiling — not our limitation.
SoundCloud Go+
256kbps
AAC · Available to Go+ subscribers. Higher quality, same honest delivery — no re-encoding.
If you're searching for a soundcloud playlist downloader 320kbps — that quality does not exist on SoundCloud's servers. Every converter that claims it is taking the 160kbps stream and inflating the file size. The audio does not improve. We give you the real stream, labelled honestly.

Common issues

Playlist Download Not Working? Try This

Four common problems — and their exact fixes.

🔗
Wrong URL — Track Link Instead of Playlist Link
Check your URL contains the word "sets" — that confirms it is a playlist URL. If you pasted a track URL, go back to the playlist page and copy from the address bar directly.
🔒
Private Playlist — No Secret Link
If the playlist is set to private and you do not have the owner's secret share link, no converter can access it. Ask the owner to share the private link with you directly.
📋
Over 100 Tracks — Split the Playlist
Our tool handles up to 100 tracks per download. For larger playlists, split them — download tracks 1 to 100 first, then the rest. SoundCloud lets you create sub-playlists from any existing playlist.
📂
Empty or Corrupt ZIP — Retry Once
If your ZIP arrives empty or will not open — try once more. Occasional server timeouts during large playlist processing can produce an incomplete file. A second attempt almost always succeeds.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about playlist downloads.

Is SoundCloud playlist downloader free?
+

Yes. Completely free. No track limit fees, no account required, no daily cap. Paste as many playlists as you want.

How many tracks can I download at once?
+

Up to 100 tracks per playlist download. For playlists over 100 tracks, split the download into batches.

Does the ZIP include album artwork?
+

Yes. Every MP3 file inside the ZIP has album artwork embedded alongside the track title and artist name. Your music player reads it automatically.

Is it legal to download SoundCloud playlists?
+

It depends on the tracks. Playlists made up of Creative Commons licensed tracks or tracks with official download enabled are fine. Playlists of copyrighted music fall into a grey area for personal use. Distributing or using downloads commercially without a license is not permitted. Check our full legal guide on the homepage for the complete breakdown.

Why is 320kbps not available for playlist downloads?
+

Because SoundCloud does not stream at 320kbps. Free accounts get 160kbps AAC. Go+ subscribers get 256kbps AAC. Any converter claiming 320kbps is upscaling the file — making it bigger without improving the audio. We give you the real quality, not an inflated number.

Can I download a private SoundCloud playlist?
+

Only if you have the secret share link from the playlist owner. Paste that link into the converter and it works the same as any public playlist. Without the secret link, private playlists cannot be accessed by any converter.
