scdl is a Python command-line tool for downloading music, playlists, likes, and reposts from SoundCloud, with automatic ID3 metadata tagging. Since version 3 it acts as a wrapper around yt-dlp with SoundCloud-specific defaults and is in maintenance mode.
Use cases
- download tracks from soundcloud
- download all uploads of a soundcloud user
- download a user's likes or favorites
- download a soundcloud playlist
- sync a playlist and skip already downloaded tracks
- add id3 metadata to downloaded soundcloud music
When to choose
- you want a simple CLI to bulk-download SoundCloud tracks, playlists, or user likes with metadata
- you need cross-platform Python tooling with ffmpeg support
- you want incremental syncing via a download archive
When to avoid
- you need active development or new features beyond what yt-dlp offers
- you want a GUI downloader
- you are downloading from platforms other than SoundCloud
