You can export your entire profile using yt-dlp. Of course you have to do it, when you are still a paying customer.

Do this regularly, like youtube soundclownd ‘silent’ deletes favorites and also blocks songs based on your vpn/geo location. I lost so much music… so i need to resort to scraping. Simple solution: make the song unavailable but please just keep the entry (name-title) in your fav. list.

Why would someone that writes their own songs, mixes in GarageBand, uploads to a 3rd party website need to use yt-dlp to get back the files that they themselves made?

Yes, I'm intentionally victim blaming here. The victim is complaining about a 3rd party site deleting files. Who cares? Why would you have as your only source of your files the copies stored by the 3rd party?

You get a point there, but export is mostly about metadata, eg images and description.

Data loss happens too. Soundcloud may be your only source of your own tracks.

Date of publication (copyright) is important to a songwriter. Soundcloud im sure knows this! Probably should have said this from the top!
