MP3 320 kbps from SoundCloud — honestly
We export MP3 at up to a 320 kbps target — and we tell you the truth the '320 guaranteed!' sites won't: final quality is bounded by SoundCloud's own stream.
The truth about 320 kbps claims
SoundCloud streams most tracks as AAC at roughly 128–256 kbps. A converter can encode that into a 320 kbps MP3 file, but the audio inside can never exceed the source. Sites that promise '320 kbps guaranteed' for every track are labeling the container, not the sound.
What SoundyLoader actually does
We encode at the highest rate that makes sense for each track's source — up to 320 kbps — so you always get the maximum real quality with none of the wasted file size. Want the technically purest option instead? M4A keeps SoundCloud's native AAC untouched.

Frequently asked questions
Will my download really be 320 kbps?
The MP3 is encoded up to a 320 kbps target. Audible quality is bounded by SoundCloud's source stream (AAC ~128–256 kbps) — we maximize what's really there rather than inflating numbers.
How do I get the best possible quality?
Choose M4A to keep the native AAC stream, or FLAC to archive it losslessly. If the artist enabled free downloads, that file is their original upload — often the true highest quality.
Why do other sites promise 320 kbps on everything?
Because the file's bitrate label is easy to set and hard for most users to verify. A spectrum analyzer shows the truth: upscaled files carry no extra detail.
