This wikiHow teaches you how to download songs from SoundCloud to your computer. While some content can be downloaded directly from the SoundCloud website, you usually need to use Chrome extensions and third-party download websites to download other songs. If an artist or musician you like allows visitors to download their songs, you'll see a download button next to the music they've uploaded. Keep in mind that the only way to save music from SoundCloud via the mobile app for offline listening is to use SoundCloud Go or SoundCloud Go+. Always double-check the copyright of the content before you download a song using a third-party service.
