PART 2 of 3 A conversation with “Google Search” AI Mode (Gemini 3.5 Flash) October 29th, 2026 [03:00 AM - 11:30 AM]
TDLR (Gemini’s own summary of pages 2-146)
The document details a step-by-step troubleshooting session focused on developing Python scripts using yt-dlp and audio tag parsing to extract SoundCloud likes and create a structured text manifest.
Key Points Script Goal: Generate a complete, numbered document of downloaded tracks and SoundCloud links sorted chronologically. Scraping Challenges: SoundCloud API limits flat scraping to roughly 2,900 to 3,561 entries, missing DRM-protected items and unpacked album tracks. DRM Track Integration: A separate script reformatted missing DRM tracks starting from number 3562 so they could be manually appended to the main raw text file. Final Solution: The user assembled master_list_fixed.txt and processed it with activate_links_clean.py to produce a single-spaced HTML document with selective hyperlinks on artist names for seamless pasting into Google Docs.
