SoundCloud is a popular music site for amateur artists to upload their music and a paradise for music lovers to discover their favorite tracks.

If, unfortunately, there isn't any download option, how to download a song from SoundCloud?

In that case, you'll need some downloading services or tools to help. And here, we'll show you some of the best options to grab your wanted SoundCloud songs on Mac.
