Neat product, how do you match up the song title with the correct video on youtube ? - from my experience with searching for song titles on youtube the top hit often isn't the one you want.
- JonathanBouman 16y agoThanks, the workflow is: 1. User enters artist name 2. Top tracks of Artist shown as dropdown (Last.FM) 3. User selects track 4. Max 150 Similar tracks fetched from Last.fm according to that song 5. Fetch for every track the first hit from youtube (yes, 150 ajax calls) 6. Merge jsons, produce 1 big list 7. Start MTV! Somehow this approach works for 99% of the times.
