Hey Builder.io community! I’m curious about pushing the platform’s limits and want to explore if we can recreate something like mp3juice.buzz a site. using Builder.io. a site offering fast MP3 rips from YouTube or other sources feels like a fun challenge. I know Builder.io shines for visual editing and CMS, but can it handle audio file processing or integrate with APIs to pull and convert tracks? Has anyone tried a project like this? I’d love tips on custom components, handling downloads, or workarounds for real-time audio conversion. What’s possible here let’s brainstorm!
Hi tagor,
Thank you for contacting Builder.io Support! I look forward to helping you with your request.
Builder.io excels in visual editing, content management, and API integrations , but it does not inherently support audio processing or real-time file conversion . However, you can extend its capabilities by integrating third-party APIs for YouTube audio extraction and MP3 conversion.
What’s Possible with Builder.io?
- UI and CMS – Use Builder.io to create a user-friendly interface where users input a YouTube URL and receive a download link.
- API Integrations – Use custom components to call an external MP3 conversion API.
- Handling Downloads – Implement file downloads using a backend service.
- Workarounds for Real-Time Processing – Offload processing to a Node.js/Express server while keeping the UI in Builder.io.
What Builder.io Cannot Do
- Process audio files directly
- Convert YouTube to MP3 without a backend
- Host MP3 files
Workarounds
- Use a Node.js backend with an API service.
- Store converted MP3 files in Amazon S3, Firebase, or Cloudinary.
- Embed serverless functions for conversion.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. I’d be happy to help you.
Thanks,
