This would explain why they have removed the local cache option in their Android app. In previous versions, you could select how much content to cache locally on the device, up to 100%. This meant if you listened to a song once, you could listen to it again offline. From using their app now, and the website (non-mobile) it seems they have removed all caching completely. Anyway, it's absolutely trivial to download the raw songs (MP3) from SoundCloud using Developer Tools in your favourite browser. It's not the highest quality, but since SoundCloud is 90% user contributed tracks, the original quality is often questionable anyway. I see no added value from this service. Just download the songs as MP3 files and listen to them, offline and ad free!
