What the file holds
One row per song: the playlist, the position, the title, the artists, the album, the length, the ISRC, the SoundCloud track ID and link, and the date you added the song when SoundCloud gives it. The file is UTF-8 with a header row, and it opens in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets. It holds music information, not audio.
The import of the web app reads the file again (Library › Import playlists from a file). The iPhone, iPad and Android apps export too: Export to CSV in the playlist menu, and Export library (CSV) in Account › Music services.
