I love this product. Would it be possible to also accept a URL for analysis?

This is definitively possible. Are you thinking about YouTube or social media links?

Those come to mind, but also Internet Archive item links; this enables potentially dating any video or audio content in their archive (assuming it contains the necessary audio data from mains). I admit this is lazy, as it is easy to retrieve the content and then upload, but still worth mentioning in case it was value product feedback.

It's equivilant to tree ring dateing used in archiological research, and I wonder, if like wood, there is other data embeded.
