Direct answer
The playlist tool fetches accessible tracks from a public SoundCloud /sets/ URL and downloads them sequentially in the browser. Each track is resolved separately, uses one download allowance, and may save as MP3 or M4A. A failed or restricted track is counted without changing the format of successful files.
What the current downloader actually does
- Public playlist URLs containing /sets/ are supported; private tracks are omitted and counted.
- Downloads run one track at a time with a short delay to keep the browser stable.
- Each track keeps its available MP3 or M4A format; the tool does not create a ZIP or WAV archive.
How the browser download works
- Paste a public /sets/ playlist URL and fetch the track list.
- Review accessible and restricted-track counts, then choose MP3 or source-oriented M4A.
- Download all or selected tracks; progress and partial failures are reported per item.
Known limits and failure cases
- Private playlists, private tracks, empty sets, and removed tracks are unavailable.
- Browsers may ask permission for multiple downloads and signed URLs can expire.
- Each accessible track uses one daily download allowance. If the allowance runs out, the batch stops and files already saved remain available.
