Our algorithm attempts to filter out things like covers and live performances, but admittedly it's not perfect. It works pretty well but there's definitely room for improvement. We're constantly improving this aspect because of how crucial

I have lots of ideas of where we can go from here. We're just getting started and I think there's a lot to look forward to. I'm glad you like the idea. I've been waiting for this for a long time too. I'm just building the service that I wan

I'll get to fixing that ASAP. The video selection algorithm isn't perfect either, but we're constantly improving that too. Thanks for the feedback and for pointing out those issues.

If you just skip it doesn't continue normally? Optimally the site should find a video that works for you. I'll be fixing this soon.

Glad you like the site! Queueing the next video is an interesting idea. I know there is a way using the YouTube player API to queue a video but I know that it doesn't actually start loading the flv until playVideo is called, so I'm unsure i

That's awesome. I did notice that Last.FM used to go down fairly often but I don't think it has given me any troubles in at least the last several months, luckily. How have you found the quality of the data from Echo Nest compared to Last.F

Hm, interesting. Yeah I can't find "Fixpen Sill" in the search, either. Manually creating the link for the artist playlist does work though: http://demiba.com/artist/fixpen-sill

I think a crucial difference stems from the fact that we incorporate music knowledge from Last.FM. This allows us to do things like easily create full lists of songs for artists, full album playlists, etc.. It creates, I think, a more compl

Well the idea is that we have an algorithm that tries to select the best video in terms of quality. It's a natural consequence that we often select vevo videos, but we don't have a bias towards them, if there's a more suitable video availab

Ouch, that's awful. It should automatically filter out videos like that. I'll look into it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Are you getting the "This video is restricted in your country" error? The website should automatically filter out videos that aren't available to you to only provide ones that work. I haven't tested this much though and so it might not work

Our music information comes from Last.FM, so if an artist doesn't show up it's because Last.FM doesn't have them in their database. Last.FM's database is pretty extensive and even relatively obscure artists can often be found, but sometimes

The idea is simple: There's a ton of music content on YouTube and Demiba let's you take full advantage of it like you never could before. Demiba finds automatically the best quality versions for each song and offers many ways to listen to a

The idea is simple: There's a plethora of Music content on YouTube but the experience of listening to music on youtube isn't optimized for music. With Demiba that's what we aim to do. A few of our key features: -Create radio stations with a
