Search is a bit slow ATM, but selection seems good already. I didn't think I had to click 'Save Playlist' after clicking the pluses, maybe it would be better to auto-save the first one or create a default 'Untitled' and ask you to name it.
That was also totally not self-explanatory to a non-registered user, but it did keep the playlist selection after signing up which is good.
For the results, it would be cool to see the album and year, or if it's live a 'Live @ Foo Stadium' in the album spot and the year still shown.
Also wasn't 100% clear on how to play the track, and the 'Try next source' should look like a link, not like any other text.
Otherwise, pretty cool. Got it playin' in the background as I type :)
- lux 18y agoOne more thing (minor bug report): I selected a song in a 2nd search but it added one from my first search instead when I saved the playlist (I clicked songs from 2 searches for my first playlist).
- louislouis 18y agoThanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll have to look into those bugs you found. I do admit though it's far from perfect atm and there were lots more features I wanted add before launching, but hacker news has taught me to just throw it out there and get a response, so my server is taking a pounding for it I type.
- lux 18y agoWhile I'm at it, a few feature suggestions: * Export playlist in standard format for external players. * Need a way to share playlists with friends (sharethis.com or addthis.com?). * Post playlist onto other sites (Facebook app for example). * A way for artists to add themselves to the search. * Continue playing current song in iframe while I'm searching for others (see thesixtyone.com for example). Good luck!
