Overall it's really good. I'm going to have this running in a tab for a while :) Some thoughts: - A couple of times the audio dropped. Each time I noticed the mute button was engaged and even unmuting the audio did not come back. Not sure what happened. - The progress bar caused a usability issue for me. It's so instinctual to hover at the bottom of the video and I didn't realise why nothing was responding. - Is it p…

Thanks, for this ! Can you tell me your OS / Browser version ? You think video thumbnails should replace album covers ? You don't see the black scrollbar next to playlist ?

I think you should get a new logo, the "cloud" logo is already used by tons of companies, and this doesn't really have anything to do with clouds or cloud storage. Regardless of that though it seems very well done. I'm a little confused with the top thing. It's on US I click it and it goes to UK. Though it looks like a select menu.

When you click HD, what happens? It would be cool if you could select the levels like you can on youtube (240 to what ever)

Also, when you right click on a video it pauses it. I was trying to find a way to get the youtube URL.

click on the Youtube logo, bottom right of the player, goes for all embedded Youtube videos.

Sadly, I seem to be unable to convince it to load entire albums, just individual songs. However, it does load unofficial videos, which is quite cool. I'm guessing that it runs a search without being logged in, and takes the first result which is shorter than 30min or so?
