Find a playlist you want to download. Because they cannot provide a universal way to download playlists, SoundCloud allows artists to link to their downloadable albums or playlists on other sites. You can find out if a playlist can be purchased through another service if an artist has added a Buy button to their playlist.
- SoundCloud artists do have the option to change the text on the button from “Buy” to something else. Some playlists will say Pre-Order, Purchase, or something along these lines.
Artists often use services like iTunes, BandCamp or Spotify to sell songs and albums. The link from SoundCloud will likely link to one of those widely-used services, and most will require you to enter your credit card information before you are able to download your playlist.

How do I add mp3s to my android phone?
Community Answer
Download an mp3 to your computer, press "open in folder" or "open when done" while it's downloading. Then, plug in your android into the computer using the charging cord (minus the wall outlet piece). Right-click the mp3 files, select "cut," and then go to your phone's folder labeled "music." Right-click and select "paste."
