-- Easily download songs, playlists and albums from SoundCloud to your USB drive with this powerful SoundCloud music downloader!


Quick Summary:

To download SoundCloud songs to USB, you first need to save the SoundCloud songs as MP3, WAV, FLAC, or other compatible formats on your computer. There are two main situations:

● Songs without a Free download option: For streaming music, you may need a third-party tool like UkeySoft SoundCloud Music Converter to download and convert music from SoundCloud library into MP3 or another common audio format before you transfer SoundCloud music to USB drive.

SoundCloud is a popular platform for discovering music, remixes, podcasts, DJ sets, and tracks from independent artists around the world.

Generally, USB flash drives can store and play common MP3 audio files, but the challenge is that not every SoundCloud track can be downloaded as MP3 or other normal audio file. No worry, here you will obtain the about SoundCloud to USB solution. In this guide, we'll show you how to download SoundCloud music to USB drive for permanent storage and flexible playback!

Process 1: How to Download SoundCloud Music to MP3?

Before you can put SoundCloud music on a USB drive, you need to obtain local MP3 audio files. Let's look at both available approaches.

1.1 Directly Download MP3 Music From SoundCloud Website

SoundCloud allows free downloads for selected music tracks, even without a SoundCloud Go or Go+ account. Normally, if the artist has enabled downloads, you may see a Download file option for the track. The downloaded file's format depends on what the uploader has made available, so you should not assume every track will be MP3, AAC, or WAV. If you are in luck to download SoundCloud music to MP3 for free, you can then easily transfer the MP3 files to your USB drive for storage or playback!

Visit SoundCloud in your web browser and sign in to your account.

Search for the song you want to download and open its track page.

Click the "More" button represented by the three-dot icon.

If the uploader has enabled downloads, select "Download file".

Locate the downloaded audio file on your computer, usually in the "Downloads" folder.

The official option is available only for eligible tracks, so it isn't suitable if you want to download an entire SoundCloud playlist that doesn't provide downloadable files.

1.2 Download All Music & Playlists From SoundCloud to MP3
