     @jeffcliff unfortunately that's very difficult for several reasons

     1. Most of the songs aren't available for download. I think it is something artists need to opt into per song, and I rarely see them do that. Maybe b/c it might be a paid feature of SC.
     2. Soundcloud shutdown public access to their api years before I started this project. That's why I built a webscraper just to get my public reposts
     3. storage space for the mp3s would probably require me to upgrade my vps
     4. I don't have time to write the backend for all this

     also, this is about promoting the artists, more than anything. It encourages people to go to their SC profile where artists usual link to their BC or other sites to buy their music.

     @jeffcliff since @Zonz made the song above, he would know better than I, what SoundCloud provides to artists who want to make their tracks downloadable.

     @sourcreampringles_SoundCloud @jeffcliff

     Doggoneit, I was under the impression that all of my tracks were already downloadable, but I guess that is not the case. ☹️

     @Zonz @jeffcliff so it is "opt in"?

     @sourcreampringles_SoundCloud @jeffcliff

     It is not. I remembered incorrectly. I was under the mistake impression that because I am able to download my files, that anybody could... But that is not the case, I cannot download my files if I am logged out.

     @Zonz @jeffcliff ok. Is there an option to make your tracks publicly downloadable? If it is, but is "off" by default, then it would be "opt in" if you had to turn it on.

     I do not see that option in settings.

     @Zonz @jeffcliff cool, thanks for investigating that for us. Sounds like a pain to do it per track rather than leave it on by default for all tracks.
     
     And it explains why I rarely see it on artists' tracks in general. So for me to automate downloading tracks from SC is not likely possible for most tracks, like I thought, even if I was able to get api access, which last I checked was very hard or not even possible.

     @sourcreampringles_SoundCloud @jeffcliff

     Oh wait, yes I can! I have to do it through one of the directories that I didn't know existed. You're right, it is a toggle switch. It has to be set by individual track. I'll change it, I thought it automatically allowed public downloads. 🤷
