Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I want to get the absolute URL to the mp3 file of that SoundCloud music:
https://soundcloud.com/luc-brun-compositeur/titre-20-luc-brun-compositeur
But I obtain the error mentioned above.

And even in general I can't get any URL from all of the musics of that same artist:
https://soundcloud.com/luc-brun-compositeur

Can you help me? Thanks.
