Active code page: 65001 result

I recently installed soundscrape, and am only getting a 'Active code page: 65001' message when I try to pull any music. Is this related to the API issues?

Has there been any word on this? I'm getting the same problem. Specifically, when I try to download with soundscrape.exe link, I get:

Any notes on this? I don't understand why it still doesn't work.

Hey John, Make sure you have the correct name in place when you run the tool. For example, I wanted to scrape songs from SoDown, but their soundcloud tag is sodownbassmusic, which is what I had to use when I ran the scrape. [image: image.png]

PR #241 addresses better handling of http errors, among a plethora of other things.

It seems to be working now. I no longer get the error I was having earlier.
