This error is unrelated to soundcloud, it is a filesytem misconfiguration - your system only supports ASCII filenames. What system is this? On a debian sid with en_US locale, everything works fine for me. Also, can you post the outputs of

python -c 'import sys;print(sys.getfilesystemencoding())'

and

env

?

This is on arch, with an ext4 filesystem. I'm using the en_us locale. Well, at least I think I am.

$ python -c 'import sys;print(sys.getfilesystemencoding())'

Hey, you're right, my system is busted up. Sorry for wasting your time.

[phihag]

Well, youtube-dl should still work on a system without a locale. Added code to that effect - it now automatically switches to removing non-ASCII characters and prints out a warning with instructions on how to fix it.
