Description

Hi,

When I try to download some songs from Soundcloud I get 401 Unauthorized error. Occurred not for all songs but only for some of them.

Example song: https://soundcloud.com/dannaxtheprinz/dannax-me-pega-prod-young-records

Probably it's related to wrong CLIENT_ID for Soundcloud?

Regards
Piotr
