Paste a SoundCloud or YouTube link in an authorized chat, or send /download / /mp3, and the bot replies with the track as a 320 kbps MP3.
Starting a download
Paste a SoundCloud or YouTube link into an authorized chat. No command is needed — the bot replies with the track as an audio file. /download <link> and /mp3 <link> do the same thing.
Sent with no link, /download and /mp3 reply Got it — send a SoundCloud or YouTube link and I'll send back the MP3. The reply and your command are deleted after 45 seconds.

Playlists: ZIP or individual files
A SoundCloud playlist link (/sets/) or a YouTube playlist link (/playlist?list=) gets a choice: one ZIP or individual MP3s.
What happens
- The bot asks
🎧 Playlist detected — how do you want it?with two buttons: 📦 ZIP File and 🎵 MP3s. - Only the person who sent the link can choose. Anyone else tapping gets
Only the requester can choose. - The choice expires after 10 minutes and the prompt is deleted.
- ZIP File: every track in one .zip. MP3s: tracks sent one at a time.
A finished ZIP ends with ✅ {title} — {n} tracks, zipped ({size} MB). A finished MP3 run ends with ✅ {title} — sent {n}/{total} tracks. Unavailable tracks are noted in that line ({n} unavailable — DRM/region-locked), as is the 30-track cap (capped at first {n} of {total}).
