Hi everyone,

I’m **Darshan Hiranandani** , working on an Ionic 2 app that streams audio from SoundCloud, but now I’m looking to add a feature where users can **download** the audio for offline use. I need some guidance on how to download an audio file from SoundCloud and store it locally on the device.

I was thinking of storing the audio file ID using **Storage** or **NativeStorage** , but I’m unsure if that’s the best approach for keeping track of the downloaded files.

Has anyone implemented a similar feature in their app? What’s the best way to download, store, and retrieve audio files locally from SoundCloud in an Ionic app?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!  
Regards
