HELLO!
We're going to use a Python script to download a possible unlimited number of tracks from Soundcloud using just one short text command.
Even if download is unavailable for the track.
This video will show me using the option to download every track uploaded and reposted by the artist: Yheti.
Other options outlined allow you to download an artists liked tracks as well as one command to download a playlist, as well as download newly added tracks to a playlist previously grabbed using this tool.
