That site already existed as plug.dj, but that shut down in February when they ran out of money.
It basically worked the same way as Turntable.fm, except instead of picking a song list or uploading songs, you would search YouTube and queue up YouTube videos.
The only limitation was that some YouTube videos are set so that they can't be embedded into other web pages. Songs uploaded to YouTube like this couldn't be played on plug.dj.
