Saving your favourite songs from Soundcloud hasn’t always been easy. I know I’ve been frustrated times without number when I find a song I like but can’t keep.
Of course, some artists make their work freely available for download and Soundcloud generously puts a free download link for you above the comment box.
Like everything else, there are rules and rules that bring along restrictions. Depending on the artist’s membership level, Free users have a download limit of 100 downloads per track, Pro users have 1,000, and Pro Unlimited users have unlimited downloads available for their tracks. The problem thus arises if an artist has reached his/her downloadable limit.
However, before you download music from Soundcloud endeavor to find out if that artist has made the music freely available for download so as not to infringe on any artist’s copyright. Bear in mind that these artists spend a lot of time, energy and effort to create their work and to a large extent their livelihood depends on them.
Never redistribute downloaded tracks without permission.
