#22Very useful. I always wished for something like this.
I was a little disappointed to see that it didn't work on the iPad, though. The page just tells me (in grey text on a black background btw) that the flash player is needed, although embedded YouTube videos usually work without the need for flash on this thing.

#23just thought of something else. It would be quite cool if we could direct roll.io to play files via url parameter. Say we want to play 3 songs. We could type something like this in a forum:
http://roll.io/song1title-song2title-song3title
With '-' as delimiter or some other char/word

#24Awesome idea. Drap and drop upload oft txt files would be nice.

#25This is a great idea, and amazing for previewing new albums! However, sometimes when it fails to search and substitutes, it would be nice to be able to hand edit the playlist.

#26Thanks for sharing, this looks useful, though not sure the shit mantra is necessary.

I second this. It's crass and unnecessary and just makes me look at it.. i dunno... differently.
And because of that -- and only that -- I would never see myself sharing this with people or using it to send video playlists to people aside from some anonymous web forum.

it does something similar. Here are some examples:
http://roll.io/queen (plays 1 song from queen)
http://roll.io/queen play:all (plays 25 songs from queen)
http://roll.io/queen play:2 (plays 2 songs from queen)
http://roll.io/http://bt.ly/Ercv6 (the url of your txt file)

#30I wonder why everyone seems to get what this does from reading the description. When I read "eat and shit", I assume that the "food" is "transformed" into ... youtube videos. So I thought this would generate new videos and upload them to youtube automatically, maybe showing the txt files as a huge StarWars scroller, or something.
