- `EXTRACTION_TEMP_DIR`: Temporary extraction directory (default: "sounds/temp")
- `EXTRACTION_THUMBNAILS_DIR`: Thumbnail storage directory (default: "sounds/originals/extracted/thumbnails")
- `EXTRACTION_MAX_CONCURRENT`: Maximum concurrent extractions (default: 2)

### API Endpoints
- `POST /api/v1/extractions/`: Create extraction job (immediate response)
- `GET /api/v1/admin/extractions/status`: Get extraction processor status (admin only)
- `GET /api/v1/extractions/{extraction_id}`: Get specific extraction info
- `GET /api/v1/extractions/`: Get user's extraction history

### Technical Implementation
- **Service**: `app/services/extraction.py` - Core extraction logic with async yt-dlp operations
- **Processor**: `app/services/extraction_processor.py` - Background queue manager with concurrency control
- **Repository**: `app/repositories/extraction.py` - Database operations for extraction records
- **API**: `app/api/v1/extractions.py` - Dedicated extraction API endpoints, `app/api/v1/admin/extractions.py` - Admin extraction endpoints
- **Dependencies**: Requires yt-dlp for media extraction, FFmpeg for audio processing
- **Async Operations**: All blocking I/O operations wrapped in `asyncio.to_thread()` for non-blocking execution

### Extraction Process
1. **Creation**: Immediate API response with extraction record (service info null)
2. **Queue**: Background processor picks up pending extractions
3. **Service Detection**: yt-dlp identifies service and media metadata (non-blocking)
4. **Duplicate Check**: Verify no existing extraction for same service/media
5. **Media Download**: Extract audio and thumbnails using yt-dlp (non-blocking)
6. **File Processing**: Move files to final locations with sanitized names
7. **Sound Creation**: Create Sound database record with metadata and unique hash
8. **Normalization**: Automatically normalize extracted audio
9. **Status Update**: Mark extraction as completed with sound association

### Concurrency and Performance
- **Thread Pool Execution**: yt-dlp operations run in separate threads
- **Queue Management**: Background processor manages extraction queue
- **Concurrent Limits**: Configurable maximum concurrent extractions
- **Non-blocking API**: Other endpoints remain responsive during extraction
- **Resource Management**: Automatic cleanup of temporary files

### Error Handling
- **Service Detection Failures**: Invalid URLs handled gracefully during processing
- **Download Failures**: Network issues, geo-restrictions, or unavailable content
- **Processing Failures**: File system errors, FFmpeg issues, or corruption
- **Duplicate Prevention**: Service-level duplicate detection during processing
- **Comprehensive Logging**: Detailed error messages and extraction status tracking

### API Organization
- **Dedicated Extraction Endpoints**: Extraction functionality separated into `/api/v1/extractions/` for better organization
- **Admin Separation**: Admin-only endpoints moved to `/api/v1/admin/extractions/` for proper access control
- **Consistent URL Structure**: RESTful endpoint design following FastAPI best practices
- **Router Registration**: Proper router mounting and tag organization for API documentation

### Testing
- **16 comprehensive service tests** covering all extraction scenarios including async operations
- **API endpoint tests** with authentication and background processing validation
- **Error handling tests** for various failure scenarios
- **Mock yt-dlp operations** for reliable testing without network dependencies
- **Concurrency tests** validating non-blocking behavior and thread pool execution
- **Endpoint migration tests** ensuring proper URL routing and authentication
