Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

This Add-on allows you to easily download tracks off of SoundCloud, by the press of a button. Unlike other Add-ons, this does not use any 3rd party services to perform the download - only SoundCloud's own APIs. No links or redirects to sketchy sites needed! When you hit 'Download', we will set the appropriate metadata information: Title, Artists, Album and Artwork. If the track is downloaded as part of an album, we will also set the track number. If you are a Go+ user, we will download the higher quality version (.m4a file) for you.

As an added bonus, this Add-On also allows you to block reposts/playlists in your 'Stream' feed, so you don't miss out on actual new songs from artists you follow!
