How can I record a track off soundcloud so I can add a track?

I've been trying to get a friend's soundcloud into Garage Band so I can add another track. http://soundcloud.com/13-black-productions/tess-barr-blues-band-little-by#play The best I've been able to figure out is go to the download page where safari presents a playback bar. Then I press the play arrow, switch back to GarageBand audio recording, hit the record button, and let the song play. But I always miss the first few seconds of the playback.


If I try to start the GarageBand Audio recording first, then switch to Safari and start the playback, I see a red bar along the top of the Safari screen that says Garage Band is recording, but then the red bar flickers. When I check my recording, I find that GarageBand has stopped recording the playback at that flicker.


Also, the best settings I could figure out for recording from Safari were to add a whole bunch of bars, more than I need, turn of the metronome and count in, so I am ignoring the GB bar structure.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Download from soundcloud just gave me a playback bar with iPad Safari. But on a windows 7 desktop and Firefox, download from SoundCloud saved the SC file to downloads. Then I had to move the audio file from downloads to my music folders, then plug in the iPad to the desktop, sync, then the SC audio file showed up in Music on the IPad. Then GarageBand on the iPad copy from iTunes worked.
