I actually have a small node program that downloads your entire Favorites collection by just providing your username as a command line argument if you or anyone's interested
Um, I'd be interested!
Soundcloud is on the list of supported sites for youtube-dl and has worked perfectly for quite a while (unless Soundcloud broke something in the last few months).
I first added Soundcloud support to youtube-dl when I was in college. Good times!
thanks! i must have glossed over that when i first discovered youtube-dl. like countless others before, i found out how to do the one thing i needed to and ignored the rest of the tool's utility.
