SDownload

SDownload is a tool that enables users to quickly download music from SoundCloud, save it to a user-defined location, and automatically add it to the iTunes library. It's available as a standalone application as well as Chrome and Firefox extension.

In order to use this tool, you must install the browser add-on along with a separate utility for configuring SDownload settings. Once unwrapped, it creates an icon in the system tray area at startup, whose context menu you can swiftly access to modify options.

It is possible to select the saving directory and include an email with crash reports. SDownload adds music to iTunes and keeps it in the download folder afterward, sorts songs by artist, asks for user confirmation before exiting the tool, and checks for updates by default. Any of these options can be disabled.

The software application is able to download those SoundCloud songs which do not come with a download button by default. It carries out tasks quickly while remaining light on the system resources (CPU and RAM consumption was very low in our tests). We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation, since the app did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. SDownload serves its purpose and can be easily handled by anyone.
