Soundcloud already provide an option for making tracks downloadable at the quality they were uploaded. I choose this for my tracks.

If the artist hasn't opted to make the Soundcloud content downloadable, what quality MP3 does this rip ?

Is it better to get a decent quality copy from Beatport, Bandcamp or wherever ?

This doesn't seem to be aimed at people for whom quality is important (hint hint), otherwise yes it's probably better to go buy the track.

The soundcloud files should be 128 mp3's if memory serves.

Fair point. Supporting musicians probably isn't in the world-view of folks who are satifsfied with a ripped MP3.

A good application for this would be snagging all of an artist's free downloads in one click rather than a single URL at a time.
