It would be better if it would be a single page app with the player within it.

What if the video is 120 minutes? The song should be 2-10 mins. Should have kept the recently listened song in the front page instead of keeping it empty.

That's true, if the video is big it would really take a while, your suggestions can really be implemented but that was just a fun side-project which I designed in two days. the beauty about celery is that it handles a long list of tasks nicely without crashing your server. if your song is taking a lot of time, just come back later and resubmit it and you will get from cache within a few seconds.

If it is okay. Can you tell me which python FFMPEG library did you use?

Not using any special library for ffmpeg, but I'm executing command line ffmpeg using Fabric library.

Why not just demux the AAC? Transcoding a lossy file is bad.

That's actually a good idea ! will look into it and deploy it back.

however, it looks like downloading the videos is taking a long time as well, not sure if that is caused by YT servers or my python library.

Processing is taking a lot of time.

it actually takes time to download the video, and transcode it into mp3. especially when you run it on just a 2-core medium instance.

Instead of putting the load on his own server he should have used youtube server with a small quality video but download the song in the back-end for the next time.
