Features

Core Capabilities

• Multi-Source Input: Upload MP3/WAV/M4A files (up to 500MB) or paste YouTube/SoundCloud/Mixcloud links

Troubleshooting

YouTube Download Issues

If you get "Failed to download from YouTube" errors:

1. Ensure yt-dlp is installed and updated:

   # Check if yt-dlp is installed
   yt-dlp --version
   
   # Update yt-dlp to latest version
   # macOS
   brew upgrade yt-dlp
   
   # Linux/pip
   pip install -U yt-dlp

2. Check if FFmpeg is installed:

   ffmpeg -version

3. Test the YouTube URL directly:

   yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "YOUR_YOUTUBE_URL"

4. Common issues:

   • Video is private or age-restricted
   • Video is region-blocked
   • YouTube API changes (update yt-dlp)
   • Missing FFmpeg (required for audio extraction)

Other Issues

• File upload fails: Check file size (max 500MB) and format (MP3, WAV, M4A)
• No songs detected: Try a different audio source or check audio quality
• API errors: Verify your API credentials in .env file

Technologies

• Frontend: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript
• Backend: Node.js + Express
