Latest version
Version 2.6.2
Released 5 May 2026 - 29.55 kBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- Tracks that SoundCloud has moved under DRM (most distributed releases with an ISRC) can no longer be downloaded as MP3 :( those endpoints now return 404 and only encrypted streams are served. The extension now detects this and shows a clear "DRM-protected" message instead of failing silently
- Download errors are now visible in the UI: the button briefly flashes red, hover the button to see what went wrong
- Other tracks (independent uploads, mixes, podcasts, free downloads) continue to work as before
