User reviews

Users appreciate the SoundCloud Downloader for its easy setup, integrated download button, and preservation of metadata without ads. However, recurring issues include occasional errors during downloads, limitation to 128 kbps audio quality, lack of customization for download locations or bitrates, and some metadata handling problems.

4.5, works good, soundcloud update bricked dl button though. only works when ur actually on the song page i think there's an issue with m4a's, i'm not sure if it's your end or sc's, but in some music players (like musicbee) m4a's have occasional but minor peaking/clipping would be 6 stars ez if you added dl buttons for entire profiles/reposts/tracklists/likes etc. that's prob asking for a lot tho lmao cheers
