This is a problem with urllib. soundscrape was installed with brew and ran under python v 2.7.

Running with python v 3 fixes the problem.

Quick fix:

git clone https://github.com/Miserlou/SoundScrape
cd SoundScrape
while read p; do; pip3 install $p; done < requirements.txt
[OR: pip3 install -r requirements.txt]
cd soundscrape
python3 soundscrape [...]

Getting same error
I installed with pip install soundscrape in venv which contains python3. Technically it should work?

I also happened to get this error when I was trying to scrape something really long (>1 hour). Don't see how that error could be linked to length, but maybe it is.

@christopherjmedlin I followed above mentioned steps and it worked for me.

PR #241 handles http errors more gracefully.
