This project provides a Python script for downloading entire playlists from SoundCloud. It uses yt-dlp to handle the downloading process, making it robust against changes in SoundCloud's website structure. The script downloads each track in the playlist, converts them to MP3 format, and packages them into a zip file.
This project uses Poetry for dependency management and packaging. If you haven't installed Poetry yet, you can do so by following the official installation guide.
