Download any Soundcloud track

[rio]

If you use Chrome, install this extension and get a download button on any Soundcloud track.

Only 128kbps for all tracks, but good for those mixes you couldn't download before.

I'm definitely reporting this to Soundcloud. It should not be legal.

and to the Original Poster if artists upload their tracks on soundcloud without the DL option ...is for a reason.

I hope soundcloud and the artists are aware of this .

Nothing cool about stealing music IMO !

Re: Download any Soundcloud track

Who puts full tracks on SoundCloud anyway? Usually only see clips...

In any case, I'm pretty sure that rio wasn't advocating theft.

Re: Download any Soundcloud track

ffs...people calm down...if anyone wants to "steal" music they will steal music...and no post on mercuryserver is going to prevent/enable this...downloading something that you can listen to online...was never really a problem...at least not that I am aware...

And before you bring out the inquisition, some people have no choice. You are all so quick to jump on the bandwagon whenever this topic comes up. I know lots of people here make a living OF music and thats great...but some people live FOR music and earn 250 euros a month so get off your high horse!
(not to mention not owning a credit card and not being able to buy it anywhere)

Re: Download any Soundcloud track

I´m kind of on the fence about this.

Anyone who thinks it´s OK to DJ with 128kbps MP3´s, or anyone who enjoys listening to music at such bitrate, is a moron, in my book. On the other hand, the world is basically made up of morons.

I´m trust the "average" MS user is not one such moron and would use this responsibly, on the other hand, this will eventually spread out to said morons.

Re: Download any Soundcloud track

Who cares really? Ripping streamed music is nothing new.

If artists are so worried about it they wouldn't host FULL "non-downloadable" tracks/sets it on Soundcloud in the first place!

Soundcloud has become a better alternative to MySpace (music promo). However, this was not the original intention of it so if there's loop holes then so what. Expect abuse as with everything online.

Re: Download any Soundcloud track

erm... this wasn't meant to be a thread informing MS folks about how to steal music, just how to get those mixes you really like--which are not downloadable on Soundcloud--onto an iPod or CD-R (which is a good thing for me). If it were a button that gave you a download of new tracks at the original uploaded bitrate, I would inform Soundcloud myself.

don't like it, don't use it.

Don't think anyone has been overly excited. I think sometimes forums can at least make people think. At the very least it can make them look harder for the stuff that is out there for download.

You are right people will steal, what really pisses me off is when people give pathetic justifications. I would respect someone more for just admitting they want to steal to get it for free , not a lot more Illegal recording , or as is happening with Hernan's radio show, putting up crap links to something that is freely available in good quality, are what disturb me more. I would really hate to think any Dj I knew would steal tracks to play out. It's stealing tools !

I live for music ! It's the most important thing in my life. You don't have to settle for stealing crap quality music. In fact if you are going to steal at least make it something worthwhile. There are incredible amounts out there of every type of music .

I think it's sad to expect abuse. But we all know that's the way I feel
