128 vs 320
You don’t have to pick a setting: free downloads are 128kbps and Supporters get 320kbps automatically. Here is what that means for a typical 4-minute song.
128kbpsFree
≈ 0.96 MB per minute
Free. Great for phones, earbuds, podcasts and saving storage.
320kbpsSupporter
≈ 2.4 MB per minute
The highest MP3 setting. Best for good headphones, speakers and DJ sets.
An MP3 can only be as good as the stream SoundCloud serves, so 320kbps keeps the most of the source rather than adding detail that was never there.

Guide
SoundCloud streams are locked to the SoundCloud app and website. An MP3 is yours: you can play it offline, copy it to a USB stick, burn it to a CD or add it to any music app. It is the most compatible audio format there is.
Every track on SoundCloud has a public link. Paste that link into the converter and SCtoMP3 fetches the audio, encodes it as MP3 and adds the title and cover art. The whole SoundCloud to MP3 conversion runs on our servers, so it is just as quick on an old phone.
Most artists leave the download button switched off. As long as a track plays publicly, you can still download the MP3 from SoundCloud here. Private tracks and Go+ previews cannot be converted.
The converter works in Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox. On iPhone the MP3 lands in Files › Downloads; on Android, Windows and Mac it goes to your usual Downloads folder.
Paste a playlist or album link and you are sent to the SoundCloud playlist downloader, which turns the full tracklist into MP3s, one by one or as a single ZIP with a Supporter pass.
Convert your own uploads, free releases and music you are allowed to keep, for personal offline listening. If a track becomes a favourite, follow and support the artist.
