Web UI

Hey @Bebra777228 , thank you for making this!
The web UI demo on huggingface looks really nice and easy to use, and I can see why some people might want to use it :)

However, I think this ought to be a separate project in a new repo rather than an addition to the audio-separator package.
In general, that's because I try to apply unix philosophy in the tools I make:

(i) Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new features.
(ii) Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program.

I made audio-separator with the intention of it being a simple tool which focuses on nothing but audio separation, which could be easily integrated into other projects as people see fit.
In my opinion, adding in a GUI into this project itself muddies that single purpose somewhat, as most of the users of this tool are probably either using it as a library (integrating it into their own software) or running it on the command line with no need for a GUI.
For those people, the large number of additional dependencies and complications from the gradio dependency are undesirable, as it adds a lot of extra bloat which won't be used by the majority of users.

Additionally, I don't really want to have to learn and maintain that additional GUI complexity myself - I hope to try and prevent this project getting into the weeds of GUI complexity which ended up making UVR such a spaghetti codebase in the first place 😅

Hope this doesn't offend you or disappoint you too much; I do think this code is a good thing and might be useful to someone, I just think it should like in a separate audio-separator-ui repository or similar and be published as a separate package on PyPI so users can choose whether they need a UI or not and only install the necessary dependencies based on that choice 😄

Oh, and unfortunately I tried to run it myself on my mac just now and got this error, which might be worth looking into once you move the code into a separate project 👀

Sure, I'll take care of it. Thank you for your response. In that case, I suppose we can close this PR. Should I notify you once I finish working on the separate fork with the UI?

[beveradb]

Sure! I'd happily contribute to it a little in the other repo, give it a test myself and we can link to it / mention it from the README in this repo etc. to help people find it - I just think the code & dependencies should stay separate :)
