Description

As I have written on the title, some songs fail to download with the above error. More urls that return the same output, all from the same artist

https://soundcloud.com/oneireuthslowbap/exostis
https://soundcloud.com/oneireuthslowbap/black-rose-jam
https://soundcloud.com/oneireuthslowbap/sundy-alithia

Statistically, 1 out of 2 or 3 songs from him fails to download.

Has this been fixed? Still getting the error in the current version 2019.11.22

This seems to be change that SoundCloud made. I currently use SoundCloud Playlist Sync to download all songs from a playlist. It was working fine not too long ago. But I started getting 401 errors as well using that program.

I confirm that too. I just had the time to test with the above songs and it seems soundcloud fails again with a similar output

I can not reopen this issue though, because it was closed by a youtube-dl dev, so please feel free to open a new one and refer to it. And yes, soundcloud seems to be making changes again.
