Does anyone know if it's possible for Mp3tag and use SCs' API?
It seems everything is done via a web browser or Ruby, Python and JavaScript.

It's theoretically possible, but would need special handling in Mp3tag because of OAuth (similar to Discogs).

How would one go about doing this?

For the OAuth part, "one" would be yours truly in this case.

🤣 Trouble is I don't know where to start.

qq: Can you explain how it would be possible? Running the script including the OAuth proces as described [here](https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide#authentication) would require a new window to pop open either by opening the default browser or by opening a embedded browser correct? Is this possible from within a mp3tag script?

This seems not needed anymore. I've started plundering the hydration scripts that get loading during page load.
