The user selects a playlist displayed (fetched with the spotify API)
The software looks for any "local tracks" in that playlist (those are tracks that are not available any more, just a different name) - the tracklist is fetched using the Spotify API
The software searches via the Spotify API for songs that match the pattern "artist title" and displays those.
The user selects the songs that shall replace the unavailable songs
The software creates a new playlist and adds the replacement songs (all done via the Spotify API)
So as you can see, the software heavily relies on the Spotify API. If the soundcloud API offers the same features AND a test run where you take one of the greyed out/unavailable songs and search for it with the soundcloud search actually shows usable results then: yes a similar software for soundcloud can be created.
I'm honestly not too sure how fleshed out the SoundCloud API is, but I'll take a look and see how difficult it would be to add this. Thanks for the awesome reply 😊
