SoundCloud is a popular audio sharing website where users can record, upload and share their original contents and has become a common platform for musicians to distribute their tracks. Along with streaming songs, you can also download tracks which the artist allows, a feature that is missing from the mobile app.
UnlimMusic is a jailbreak tweak developed by UnlimApps that adds a standalone app to the Home screen where you can search and listen to songs from SoundCloud as well as download permissible tracks. This means that only the songs that are allowed by the respective artists can be downloaded, unlike the SoundCloud iOS app which lacks this feature.
Once you install the tweak, a new icon will be added to the Home screen where you can launch the app. Once you open it, you’ll be greeted with a list of all the different music genres and each of them contains musics belonging to that particular genre. You can tap on any of the tracks to start streaming them. The ‘Downloadable’ tab is the place where you can view all the songs which can be downloaded to your iPhone.
All the tracks that you download will be added to the ‘Files’ tab where you can listen to them offline and more importantly, import them to the stock Music app.
The app also provides a list of all the tracks you’ve recently listened to from the ‘Recents’ tab and it also allows you to view your favorite artists from the ‘Favorite Users’ tab.
Although the tweak does its job nicely, the only issue that I had with UnlimMusic was that it took a few reboots for the app icon to appear on the Home screen and it would sometimes disappear for unknown reasons. Other than this, everything works smoothly.
If you frequently use SoundCloud, you should probably give this tweak a try. UnlimMusic can be downloaded via Cydia’s BigBoss repository for free.
Another alternative is Soundcloud Downloader Pro, which is available for free in the App Store.
