SoundCloud is the go-to platform for independent artists, underground music, remix culture, and DJ mixes. Unlike Spotify or Apple Music, many SoundCloud tracks are exclusive to the platform and unavailable anywhere else. Vid1080 supports SoundCloud downloads — paste a track or mix URL and save it as an MP3 for free.

What Types of SoundCloud Content Can You Download?

Private or Restricted Tracks
SoundCloud allows artists to set tracks to "Private" — these are not accessible without a special private link shared by the artist. Tracks behind SoundCloud's "Go+" paywall (exclusive content for paid subscribers) also cannot be downloaded externally. Only publicly-available free tracks are downloadable using Vid1080. If a track shows "Sign in to listen," it is either private or geo-restricted.
