SoundCloud is a global online audio distribution platform that enables its users to upload, record, promote, and share their originally-created sounds.[1]

In August 2015, SoundCloud was threatened to be pursued through the courts for unpaid royalties.[2]

In February 2016, a report casted “significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”[3]

Upon these news, Archive Team now considers SoundCloud a service in danger, and as it hosts a lot of original content, finds it important to prepare to save it selectively (a full grab would be too big and would raise concerns of mass copyright infringement).[4][5]

Thus, a discussion has started in the #soundclown (on hackint) channel.

As of April 2017 the 128k MP3 streams of all public tracks on SoundCloud total 855TB.
