SoundCloud streams its music as AAC audio, so we deliver the original file as M4A (AAC) with no quality loss. M4A plays in every music app just like an MP3. If you specifically need MP3 or WAV, you can convert the M4A with any free audio converter — WAV only makes the file bigger, it can't add quality that isn't in the stream.
We always save the highest quality SoundCloud streams for that track (usually AAC around 160 kbps, which sounds similar to a 256–320 kbps MP3). No downloader can produce a better file than the stream SoundCloud provides.
Files go to your browser's download folder. On iPhone open the Files app → Downloads; on Android check the Downloads folder or your music app. On PC and Mac look in Downloads.
