This is a service I would really like. There's also youtify[1], but neither work for me (with youtify Soundcloud works but not YouTube). The music simply never starts.
That's too bad because such a "music mode" is something I would love to see on YouTube. It's not that I constantly listen to music on YouTube, that would be a waste of bandwidth, but I use YouTube almost exclusively as a music/artist discovery platform, then I download the musics I like once and for all. But I would still appreciate a lot to be able to actually have a working playlist/queue feature on YouTube, and also to be able to desactivate the video display (and download) to only keep the sound.

EDIT: I guess the best service of this type I've seen yet is http://roll.io/ http://roll.io/ (which works for me on top of that). I was discussed on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2665090 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2665090
- ashraful 14y agoHiding the video and letting users download the music or the video is against Youtube's TOS.
- p4bl0 14y agoIt's too bad that hiding the video is against YouTube's TOS. Most of the time the video is a single static image anyway. About your second point, I didn't ask for "letting users download the music or the video", when I said that I download the music it can be from many sources, most of the time .zip or .rar files that the artists put on mediafire or some services like this.
- jensnockert 14y agoIf Youtube doesn't work in Youtify, you probably have some sort of flash blocker installed. If you don't, a bug report would be appreciated. (https://github.com/youtify/youtify https://github.com/youtify/youtify)
- p4bl0 14y agoI don't have any flashblocker installed. I thought it was because of HTTPS Everywhere but I disabled it temporarily and got the same result. Anyway I won't add an exception rule to HTTPS Everywhere for YouTube. So I have no clue at all what the cause could be, I don't think a "it doesn't work for me" bug report would be of any help.
- jensnockert 14y agoHTTPS Everywhere has had known issue with youtify, so that could be the issue. What browser are you using?
- p4bl0 14y agoI'm using Firefox 10.0.6.
- Jonovono 14y agoI made http://www.tunesicles.com http://www.tunesicles.com . It allows you to easily search youtube (you can search for an album and instantly add all the songs to a playlist). Not sure if this is something like what you would like!
