I'm trying to download whole albums from Soundcloud using yt-dlp but they come without the metadata (artist, album, year) even when used with --embed-metadata.

I've tried searching but all the posts I can find talk about Youtube videos' metadata.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

I doubt yt-dlp supports Soundcloud metadata. One possible solution is just running your music through MusicBrainz Picard to restore the metadata.

Thank you so much. Works perfectly!
