I am also not a Soundcloud fan, but the offline mode does not make the application better if there is no way to listen to live recordings, rare songs, etc. But for now, I download some songs with the help of mp3juice since here you have the opportunity to download what you really like, and not what a regular Spotify subscription or so on offers you. I can find something new for myself here. I'm open to new tracks, genres, and artists.
