This is a bad idea IMHO, because then youtube-dl needs to be installed on the user's machine. What youtube-dl (and my temporary fix) does is using SoundCloud's API key, which can be used unlimited. |

I believe the Soundcloud API has now been capped at 15K views. |

This uses youtube-dl to extract a streamable URL. I don't know how they get around any API limits but I'm guessing the clue might lie here:

In my opinion this is a better solution than requiring people to use their own API key since it's basically "plug and play", all you need is to have youtube-dl installed.
