Review summary

Users broadly find the add-on convenient for offline SoundCloud downloads with metadata, and it generally works well and is easy to set up. The main recurring issues are Go+/M4A file problems, intermittent bugs, and updates that break functionality. Quality concerns (low bitrate) and account restrictions are noted by a subset of users. Overall, it remains useful for offline listening and metadata support, but ongoing maintenance and compatibility after updates are common themes.

Pros

Metadata is downloaded with tracks, which reviewers find highly convenient.
Generally reliable and easy to set up.
Enables offline downloads without needing the SoundCloud app.
Offers optional album art and metadata features for downloads.

Cons

Go+/M4A-related issues: corrupted headers and unplayable files.
Intermittent bugs and error messages that interrupt downloads.
Recent updates have caused formatting changes or bricked the download button.
Low bitrate options (128 kbps) and a desire for higher quality (192–256 kbps).
Some users report account bans or restrictions.

2026-06-27	Th*****	Kinda works. It cannot save directly to the download folder (it forces a subfolder) and if I want to save to a Linux hidden folder, it removes the leading dot. If I choose to save via dialog it adds an 'aac' extension to the mp3 file ('audio.mp3' becomes 'audio.aac' and if you instruct it via the dialog to save it as 'audio.mp3' it will save it as 'audio.mp3.aac'). So, if I want to save it directly to the downloads folder, with no subfolder, and be done with it, tough luck. I'd need to either move it from the subfolder, or remove the 'aac' extension. Apps trying to be smart and changing what I'm doing piss me off. Also, I fail to see any sense in it pushing to save it in subfolder when not using the dialog.

2026-02-11	*****	The higher quality versions downloaded as a Go+ user have corrupted file headers. While you may still be able to play the file, depending on the music player you likely won't be able to seek to a time. (And these files can become unplayable over time so good luck)
