Download SoundCloud Playlists to MP3 [Step-by-Step Guide]

Part 1. Can You Download SoundCloud Playlists?

Now, you may wonder if it's possible to download SoundCloud playlists or convert them to MP3. Well, SoundCloud does not have a built-in feature to download an entire playlist at once, even for paid users.

SoundCloud only allows paid users to save tracks and playlists for offline listening within the mobile app, instead of directly downloading it to the mobile device. Other than this situation, SoundCloud allows all users to download individual tracks if the uploader enables the download button but this situation is kinda rare.

Thus, if you want to download a whole playlist from SoundCloud or save it in MP3, you'd need to use third-party tools like ViWizard Streaming Audio Recorder for SoundCloud. This tool is designed for ALL SoundCloud users to batch download tracks, playlists, likes, albums, podcasts, and remixes and convert them to various formats, including MP3 (320 kbps), FLAC, WAV, AIFF, M4A, and M4B. Click the download button to try it for free!
