Do you think this would also work with Grooveshark? The problem with YouTube is that most music videos are geo-blocked outside the US, or at least for my country they are. (So are Pandora, Spotify, etc.) Furthermore I believe that Grooveshark's song library is bigger anyway, so it would be an improvement for everyone.

Now I see I should have stick to it. Deep inside me I knew if the service would be useful to me, it would be to some other folks, but I was a bit disappointed and didn't…
How about iterating on your idea? Here's an idea of mine for free (I came up with this as I was reading your comment, so feel free to critique it): Instead of uploading a text file, a user can type in an artist and song title on their smartphone.

#89I 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.
