Direct answer
Each track is prepared separately and uses one download allowance when its download link is launched. The browser downloads files directly from the download server.
What the current downloader actually does
- Choose MP3, M4A or WAV; conversion does not improve source quality.
- Files are prepared on the download server and delivered directly to your browser.
- Progress describes server preparation; 100% does not mean the file is saved on your device.
How the browser download works
- Paste a public SoundCloud URL and load its information.
- Choose a format and start preparation.
- When ready, your browser starts the file download. Check its download manager for completion.
Known limits and failure cases
- Private, restricted, removed or unsupported tracks cannot be downloaded.
- Preparation can queue or fail; links expire and browsers may require permission for multiple downloads.
- Each launched track uses one allowance. When the allowance runs out, the batch stops.
