FAQ — downloading from SoundCloud
Is it legal to download from SoundCloud?
It can be legal if the track has an official Download button, a permissive license, or you have permission from the rights holder. Otherwise, do not download.
Why is the Download button missing?
The creator or label disabled it, or rights do not allow downloads. Respect that choice and avoid any circumvention.
Can I use downloaded audio in my videos?
Only if the license or the creator’s written permission allows it. Some licenses ban commercial use or derivatives.
Will Google ban or deindex my site?
Sites are penalized when they violate policies or add little value. Keep content original, rights-aware, and useful. Maintain clear DMCA and content policies.
