ALTERNATIVE TO DOWNLOAD FROM SOUNDCLOUD:-

Using a Download Service

• Open the SoundCloud page for the song you want.

If you don’t have access to the browsers in the previous method, or don’t want to wade through the developer tools, you can use a variety of different song downloading services available online. This will typically result in a slightly lower-quality file, since the song is re-encoded before you get it.

• Copy the song page’s URL. Copy the entire address from the browser’s address bar to your clipboard. Select the whole thing and either press Ctrl+C, or right-click the selection and click “Copy”.

• Paste the URL into the field on the download page. There should be a field in the center of the page that allows you to enter in the URL.
  
• Click the “Download” or “Convert” button.  This will begin the conversion process, which may take a few moments.

• Note that a lot of these sites have tons of ads on the page that may attempt to trick you into clicking a fake Download button. Use an ad-blocker if you’re having difficulty finding the right button.

• Right-click on the provided link and select “Save link as”. This will open a window allowing you to save your new MP3 file to your computer.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD SONGS FROM SOUNDCLOUD IN ANDROID

Developers skyguy126 and stirante have created an Xposed module that enables downloading straight from the official SoundCloud app itself. In my opinion, this little mod is the best way to download songs from SoundCloud on an Android device, since most third-party apps with similar functionality are clunky or have terrible interfaces. So below, we’ll take a look at how it all works.

Requirements

• rooted Android device
• Xposed Framework installed
• “Unknown sources” enabled
• official SoundCloud app installed

Start off by opening the Xposed Installer app and going to the Download section in the side navigation menu. Tap on the search icon and type in “SoundCloud,” and pick the top result, SoundCloud Downloader. Download the latest version from the Versions tab, then tap on “Install” when prompted. Once you’re done installing, make sure to activate the module and reboot to finish up.

STEP 2

Setup & Use

Next, go ahead and launch SoundCloud Downloader, where you can change the download location and hide the launcher icon if you’d like. Once you’re satisfied with these settings, open up the official SoundCloud app and play any song, then tap the three-dot menu button and choose “Download.”

All downloaded MP3s can be found in the save location you picked in the module’s main interface, so they should be easy to share or open with your favorite music player.
