Thanks for bringing this up! The yt-dlp version I was using was 2024.07.08, which has a bug with the YouTube extractor. I've updated the backend to 2024.07.09, which should fix the issue. I'll keep monitoring to make sure everything is working again.

EDIT: Okay, that wasn't the issue. I'll look into this deeper.

It seems yt-dlp was incorrectly labelling the files as .M4A, even when they were supposed to be .MP3. I've forced the backend to rename M4A files to MP3, which should now fix the issue. I'll keep monitoring to make sure everything is working again.
