How to download SoundCloud audio
- Step 1
Copy the link
Under the track, tap Share, then Copy link. On a computer, copy the address of the track page.
- Step 2
Paste it above
Paste the link in the box at the top of this page and press Download. FetchBolt finds the audio and its formats.
- Step 3
Choose and save
Pick MP3 or M4A and a bitrate and tap Download. The file saves to your device.
What you get
MP3 at 320 or 128 kbps converted from SoundCloud’s stream, or the original audio file when the artist allows downloads.
SoundCloud streams most tracks at around 128 kbps. FetchBolt takes the best stream available and converts it to MP3, so the file plays in every music app, car stereo and DJ program.
When an artist turns on downloads for a track, the original upload is offered too, often in higher quality than the stream.
Save it on any device
iPhone and iPad
Open FetchBolt in Safari, paste the SoundCloud link and tap Download. The MP3 saves to Files → Downloads, ready to play or share to any audio app.
Android
Paste the link in Chrome or any browser and tap Download. The MP3 lands in Downloads, where music players and file managers find it.
Windows, Mac and Linux
Copy the link from the address bar or Share button and paste it above. The MP3 saves to your Downloads folder in any browser, with nothing to install.
Troubleshooting and safety
The download doesn’t work. What can I do?
Check that the audio plays for everyone: private posts, age-restricted content and anything that needs you to sign in can’t be downloaded, and FetchBolt tells you if a track was removed or is region-locked. Copy the link with the app’s Share button and paste it on its own. If SoundCloud is limiting traffic for a moment, wait a minute and try again. Large files take longer to prepare, and the button shows the progress while they do.
Is FetchBolt safe to use?
FetchBolt runs in your browser: no app, no extension and no sign-up, and it never asks for your SoundCloud password. Files are prepared on our servers only for as long as it takes to send them to you, then deleted, and we don’t keep a history of your links. The only buttons that download anything are the ones in the FetchBolt card, next to each quality.
SoundCloud to MP3: frequently asked questions
Does converting to 320 kbps improve the sound?
No. It keeps everything the stream contains, but can’t add detail that isn’t there. Pick 128 kbps for a smaller file that sounds the same.
Can I convert SoundCloud Go+ tracks?
No. Tracks that need a subscription to play in full can’t be downloaded.
Do on.soundcloud.com short links work?
Yes. Paste the link the app gives you and FetchBolt follows it to the track.
Is FetchBolt free?
Yes. FetchBolt is free to use with no sign-up and no download limits for normal use. It’s supported by ads.
Do I need to install anything?
No. FetchBolt runs in your browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.
Do you keep the videos I download?
No. Files are prepared on our servers only for as long as it takes to send them to you, then deleted. We don’t keep a history of your links.
