Finally! A good replacement for radioblogclub. I was so unhappy when they took that down since it was my main source for discovering good artists.

#42simple and great idea! vote up it is.

#43It's most useful if a) Always (settable option?) HD videos, b) uses less cpu time/battery/memory than playing the video (when hiding the video) c) youtube playlists.
Mostly b. Even on an imac youtube can take 10% of cpu I'd rather be used for something else, like a lagging game.

#44just 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
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)
very nice! :)

#45I 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.
Sorry. that's me trying to sound cool in 80 characters (minus "Show HN:")

That's a pretty shitty reason not to share this with people.
And the bad pun award goes to jh3! Seriously, though, I'm not one to be easily offended -- and I think fake umbrage in our society has been taken to a ridiculous level (especially in politics). But the reason I like good design is because when something is well designed it gives me a sense of calm and peace. Having "I eat text and shit out whatever" is just very bad design to me. And it's offensive enough that why wo…
I understand. It also seems to be misleading according to some comments. I will think it through. Thank you.
