Downloading albums from Soundcloud with metadata - eviltoast

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?

    From what I’ve gathered so far, it seems that it’s up to the artist what tags are included with the track, and most of them don’t bother to include any.

    So far even the ones that I found that included some metadata are simply not consistent enough and retagging them with Picard seems better.
