Soundcloud Playlist Er Zip Install Them First

The opensource version has been forked and development and releases are continuing by other contributers at GitHub.

After looking around and not finding any reasonable mechanism for downloading my SoundCloud playlists to local folders and keeping those folders in sync with the online playlist contents, I decided to build one.

I will continue to add features and improvements to this tool, like making it a service that automatically runs on login and silently keeps directories in sync with playlists or a reverse playlist id lookup, but a fully functional version is included in this post.

Soundcloud Playlist Er Zip Install Them First

First, download the zip file, extract it, and run the setup.exe file (if you have any older versions of this tool installed, uninstall them first).

If you dont have Microsofts.NET framework installed, the installation wizard will guide you through installing it as it is required by the download tool in order to operate.

Once the installation has completed, you will be greeted with a window like the following.

If you want to download the songs in a playlist, copy the playlist url from your browser and paste it into the url box.

You can also download all songs an artist has uploaded using options as shown below.

The songs will automatically be organized by artist like you see below.

As a side note, remember to not delete the manifest file the application creates.

It is used to determine what songs need to be downloaded or removed in order to keep the directory in sync with the playlist.

Lastly, indicate whether you want songs that have already been downloaded but removed from the playlist to be deleted or left alone in your local folder and click the Synchronize button.

Depending on the size of the playlist, the application may run for a little while.

You can always cancel the download and resume from where you left off (assuming you dont force kill the application).

The first time it synchronizes, it will of course download all songs.

The next times it runs, it will only download the songs it has not yet downloaded.

If you receive any download error messages, just run it again.

It will retry the songs that failed to download and usually succeed.

At times files will fail to download due to connection issues, SoundCloud API throttling, or other reasons out of the control of the tool, but rerunning the sync will succeed.

If a few retries do not fix the problem, wait a bit and try again.

At risk of stating the obvious, this is my own creation and is not affiliated with SoundCloud in any way.

Note: if you have a previous version of the downloader installed on your computer, you will need to uninstall it before installing the latest version.
