SoundCloud to FLAC, Without the Quality Loss

SoundCloud to FLAC, Without the Quality Loss

Most SoundCloud downloaders hand you a compressed MP3 and call it a day. Scdown goes further, converting straight into 16-bit FLAC so nothing gets thrown away in the process — the wide stereo image, the low end, the small dynamic details that lossy compression tends to flatten.

It's built for DJs, producers, and anyone archiving music at the quality it was actually recorded in. Paste a single track for a quick FLAC download, or use the playlist option to pull an entire album or DJ set in lossless format without converting each song by hand.

FLAC FAQ

SoundCloud to FLAC FAQ

Common questions about lossless downloads from SoundCloud.

How do I download a SoundCloud track as FLAC?
Paste the track or playlist link into Scdown, switch to the FLAC tab, and click Download — the lossless file is ready in seconds.
What's actually different between FLAC and MP3?
FLAC is lossless — nothing is discarded during encoding, so you keep the full dynamic range and detail that MP3 compression trims away.
Can I convert a whole playlist or album to FLAC?
Yes — paste the playlist link and download each track as its own lossless FLAC file.
Why won't some players open my FLAC file?
Older default media players sometimes lack FLAC support. Scdown creates standard 16-bit FLAC files, which open fine in VLC, Foobar2000, Rekordbox, Serato, and most modern players.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes — open Scdown in your mobile browser, paste the link, choose FLAC, and the file saves to your device.
Is FLAC conversion free?
Standard MP3 downloads are free for everyone. FLAC conversion needs extra server processing and is available to Scdown Supporters.
