Embedded Download from Iframe not working

[romanadev]

The Download from the SoundCloud embedded player is not working anymore. When clicking on the Download-Icon nothing happens, in the Developer-Console the Status Code is "401 Unauthorized".

It is not working for all my tracks, tracks from other accounts and not even the examples on the Soundcloud Website are working.

When I try to query the API I get the same error 401.

Does anyone else has the same problem? Thousand of our clients are affected by this, but the Soundcloud Support has not responded in over a week.
