I really like it. I love how easy it is to navigate the possible youtube videos just using the search box. A few comments: -it's not really clear what the on/off button does in the top right -I think the black bar at the top is ugly, I think you should just leave the social connections on the gray background -the logos of youtube/musicbrainz look weird on the right, maybe try moving them to the bottom? -the main box seems to be a little off center -the name and descrition don't work for youtube videos, as seen here: http://cl.ly/2u1w1v260c1Y2V2k2E34 http://cl.ly/2u1w1v260c1Y2V2k2E34. I assume this is because youtube videos don't have an artist and title. Maybe you could parse it from the title or just make it a little clearer that those fields are empty because it's a youtube video -what is the value proposition for registering? what do I gain? that's not clear -where does the "normal search" draw from? Hopefully those don't come off as too mean, I'm just trying to give some honest feedback. Nice work overall though! I really like it. EDIT: Also, skipping forward in a song doesn't seem to work.

Awesome thanks for the feedback. -I might move the logos for youtube etc to an about page or something - just got to make sure that fits with youtube guidelines otherwise i'll play around with the placement. - And yeah it is because I can not get that information from youtube. Wasn't sure how best to show that. Maybe just say "Unavailable - from youtube" or something. I could try parsing it, that may be unreliable - but do able. - If you register you can save playlists. I should say that I suppose! But ya you can save all your playlists and it will be like itunes. It also has a library of all the songs so you can save songs and all that. Although you can still click share when making a playlist and get a playlist url, saving allows you to see all the playlists you want saved - I guess. I plan to make a video explaining some things later. - Normal search draws from musicbrainz, last fm and youtube. The songs are from youtube (searching for songs using the musicbrainz DB wasn't very reliable). So all the album names and artists are from musicbrainz.org and if you click "top songs" those are the top songs from last.fm. Musicbrainz provides an open source database so that is what I use to get the names of albums/artists/songs. - No that is awesome. I am not done it yet but wanted to get some feedback for what I could fix and all. And skipping seems to be working fine for me. Do you get an error in the console when you click next? The shuffle button doesn't work yet I just have it sitting there with no functionality right now.

  I don't get an error when I hit next, it just freezes and sound stops playing.
