How to Download a Full SoundCloud Playlist or DJ Set (2026)

Downloading one SoundCloud track is easy. Downloading a 20-track playlist one link at a time is misery. The fix: paste the playlist's own link into a downloader that understands sets, and grab every track from a single list. Here's exactly how to download a full SoundCloud playlist or DJ set in 2026 — with artwork and metadata intact.

Playlist vs. set vs. mix — a 20-second primer

• A set (or playlist) is a collection of separate tracks — its URL contains /sets/.
• A DJ mix is usually one long continuous track (1–3 hours), not a set.
• Both download fine, but they behave differently: a set gives you many files, a mix gives you one big one.

Step 1 — Copy the playlist link

Open the playlist on SoundCloud, hit Share, and copy the URL. It should look like soundcloud.com/artist/sets/playlist-name. Make sure you copy the set's link, not the link of one track inside it — SoundyLoader will tell you if you pasted the wrong type and offer to switch tabs for you.

Step 2 — Paste it into the converter

Drop the link into the SoundyLoader converter and press Start. The playlist resolves into a track list showing every title, artist, and duration — 18 tracks or 80, it all loads with a Show More button so nothing is hidden.

Step 3 — Download the tracks you want

Each row has its own Get Link button, so you download exactly the tracks you want — no forced all-or-nothing ZIP of songs you'll delete anyway. Every file comes tagged with metadata and artwork, so your library stays clean. Pick MP3 for universal playback or see which format fits your setup.

Downloading multi-hour DJ mixes without cutoffs

Long mixes are where cheap converters fail — the download dies silently at the 40-minute mark and you end up with half a set. SoundyLoader processes full 1–3 hour mixes end to end. Two practical tips: large mixes can top 100 MB, so give the processing step up to a minute, and download over Wi-Fi if your data plan is tight.

Can I download someone else's private playlist?

No — private playlists only resolve for people who have the secret link, and that's how it should be. Public playlists, your own uploads, artist free downloads, and Creative Commons content are the fair-game categories. The same rules from our main downloading guide apply: respect copyright, download what you have the right to keep.

Pro tips for big playlists

1. Download in batches — grab the tracks you actually listen to first.
2. Keep the artwork: tagged files sort beautifully in players like VLC, Foobar2000, and Apple Music.
3. Re-run the conversion if a link expires — download links auto-purge after a few minutes for privacy.
4. For artist back-catalogs, paste the artist profile URL instead and use the Artist tab.
