get right into this video how to download music from SoundCloud first
things first in the digital world all songs are
basically on files now computer files and that's most of the time on Spotify
and Apple music YouTube music google play amazon music wow there's a lot now
basically hardly any artists even print CDs anymore like do you even buy CDs
anymore when it comes to how to download music on soundcloud an artist has to
choose on soundcloud whether to make their tracks downloadable or not
download and I'm gonna go through both of those ways when a track is not
downloadable well you just can't download it however there are these
third-party sites where you can go and put in the soundcloud URL link in the
site and that will go and scrape and download the song for you I do not
recommend doing this because this is going against the terms of the artist
first saying on soundcloud that the track is not downloadable so you should
not go against their will and then download the track and then share it and
listen to it without paying for it because that's not right for the artists
because they made that song in the first place for example as an artist I do not
have my tracks on SoundCloud as downloadable because I'm not going to
give them away for free I put a lot of hard time and work into something it's
not like you make a movie and then you go to the movie theater and it's just
free it's kind of the same thinking so that's why some people don't have their
tracks as downloadable on soundcloud and so if you come across those tracks that
you want to download but they're not downloadable you should respect the fact
that they're not downloadable and just go to spotify pay for the track it's
$0.99 but at scale that means a lot for the artist
on the other hand there are a significant amount of tracks on
Soundcloud that are downloadable and I'm going to explain how to download music
from SoundCloud in that regard I was just talking about how if people give
their music away for free they're not making any money so why would someone
want to have their track as downloadable on the Internet
well it's a subjective decision to do so and to make your track downloadable but
there are also a few objective reasons as well one being if you are a new
artist if you're just learning about production maybe you have a laptop and
you're trying to make an EDM hit or a dance hit and you're playing around with
some sounds and you upload a demo you're not gonna care too much if you make any
money from it because maybe it didn't take you that much time or you prefer to
grow a fanbase quicker because more people are looking for free music to
listen to it because you can grow a fanbase quickly if you have a free
product so on soundcloud here's what it looks like here's my profile charles
clean I have my tracks in this section a good thing to note is tracks are only
the options for download you cannot download playlists and you cannot
download albums so for example this track that I have called believe you
cannot see here anywhere that you can download this track if it was
downloadable it would be in this more section under this list for example if
we go to this artist chef Valero do minimal techno free download also in the
title it ought it just says free download so right there you know you can
go download it here we go to the track section we are on the track under the
more box you can see here we go download file you can click this and it can
download directly and here we go we have seven four five minutes left of
downloading and we will have the track downloaded on our computer ready to go
we can carry it with us honor you know iPod whatever do people even
use iPods anymore so there you have it that's how to download music from
SoundCloud one thing to consider as well when you go to SoundCloud and you are
just searching for free downloads which you can do in a search bar here there
are a lot of tracks that say that they're free download for example this
area on a touch remix you'll notice the download option
is not available in the list however they do have a link here that goes to
another site this can be good but also this can be bad sometimes when you go to
these off third-party sites they're going to ask for an email that might ask
for your acceptance on a Terms of Service and you never really know what
you're gonna get into so if you're going to go off a soundcloud that's at your
own risk to what you're downloading that's up to
you that's how to download music from SoundCloud
