How to Stream SoundCloud on PS4 and PS5

SoundCloud is a music streaming service that connects creators and musicians with fans and listeners through different sharing tools. The platform is popular because of its interactive nature. One of its most popular tools is the commenting feature, which allows users to share their thoughts through a live stream. The comment can be seen by all people tuned to the live stream.

On the other hand, the PS4 is a console for home video games developed by Sony Entertainment as a successor to the PS3. With an extensive library of video games, a resolution of 1080 pixels, and 60 FPS, it has become quite popular with video game players. SoundCloud and PS4 are very popular, and many fans often wonder if it's possible to stream SoundCloud on PS4. This article will delve into this topic and answer this question.

You should then install the SoundCloud Channel Plugin. You can now use the PS4 media app in the Plex app. This will enable you to listen to SoundCloud music in the background when playing your PS4 games.

How to Play SoundCloud Music on PS5

The PS5 video console was released as an upgrade to the PS4. Its technological advancements make it better than the PS4, providing users with an immersive gaming experience. You can enhance your gaming experience when playing games on PS5 by adding SoundCloud music to your game.

However, before you start, you need to understand that PS5 has no dedicated feature to enable you to do this. Therefore, you can also do that using third-party tools. Here are the steps to follow when doing that:

Download Music from PS5

The first step towards playing your music on PS5 is downloading it from SoundCloud. However, you should note that you shouldn't download directly from SoundCloud. Using those downloads directly on the app will be impossible if you do that.

One tool you can use is the TunesKit Audio Capture to download and convert SoundCloud to the right PS5 format. With the tool, you can get any sound playing on Windows and MAC PCs, such as music or other audio. In addition to PCs, you can also use it to download music from other streaming services, such as YouTube and Spotify.

The tool lets you download music in over 12 formats, such as MP3, M4A, AAC, and FLAC.  To use the tool to download SoundCloud music, follow these steps:

Preparing to Download

1. Install the TunesKit SoundCloud downloader either on Windows or MAC. Before downloading it, you can decide on your song's music source. You can then click on the + button to include SoundCloud as the source from which you capture the audio.
2. Note that the download format is usually set to MP3 by default. Before downloading, change the music format to your desired format. You can also change the sample rate and audio format for the music you download.

Downloading SoundCloud Music

You can start playing the music from SoundCloud or your favorite browser to download it. Once you begin playing the song, the tool will automatically download it. You can pause or even stop the music if you want. You can edit your download by clicking on trim once it is completed. If you need to change the download details, click the Edit tag.

Once you are satisfied with the quality of your downloads, you can click on Save to add them to the history list. Then, you can click on the same icon to view the songs on your PC.

Playing the Downloaded Tracks on PS5

After downloading the music using the TunesKit Audio capture, you can save it on other devices, such as a flash disk. You can then play your music on PS5 from a flask disk. Here are the steps to follow when doing that:

• After inserting your USB into your PC, you can copy the downloads to the USB folder.
• Connect the USB to the PS5 console and tap on the music part. The USB drive will be visible on the screen.
• Click on the USB drive and choose the song track you want to play.
