Update command missing #29

Hi,

I think that a command that could check every artist's folder and automatically download the new uploads or/and likes would be extremely useful.

Hi @oorxx, that'd be a cool feature but I think it's out of the scope of this tool as it'd require it to run in the background and poll SoundCloud for updates. Ideally you could write a shell script running in the background that keeps updating the tracks for a specific list of artists or playlists

I was thinking of a command that you can run once in a while like for example an --updateall that would then check and automatically run a download uploads of all the downloaded artists, because at the moment the only way to do it is to manually run a command for every artist which means checking the artist's folder for his name go to soundcloud to get his url then run the command and for someone who has 20+ artists like me it's pretty tedious.
