SoundCloud is a streaming music platform that arrived a year before Spotify. It has been one of the leaders of the streaming music industry, even though now it’s not the most popular service. You can still use SoundCloud and download music, but most of the mainstream artists are on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and Amazon Music.
Even though, you can still download music from SoundCloud with no copyright issues at all. In this article you can learn how to download the 100% free songs to any device you like.
Steps to download music in SoundCloud
It’s important to remark that SoundCloud is 100% legal and the platform includes a detailed tutorial to download music for free. Basically, you just need to log in, search the song you like and press the three dots button. In the sliding menu you have to select Download file and click to start the download process.
The user or discographer has to allow for downloading. They are the true owners of the music rights. Not every song in SoundCloud can be downloaded. In case you are an artist or working for a music label, you can enable or disable the download. There’s a tab called Song permits where you can easily activate or deactivate the option.
Finally, you should remember that Download is only available on computers not on the mobile device app. Once the song is on your computer, you can manually load it into your gallery and start enjoying the music with no need of Internet connection.
Another option but not a legal one, is using Internet services that allow you to input a SoundCloud link and they download any song. Regardless of the permits for download. However, you should notice that this option is not legal as it violates copyright of songs and complete albums.
