Earlier this year I had developed my own app to listen to music through YouTube because I was finding myself using YouTube to just listen to songs I wanted to hear: http://www.deskamp.com

With all these new YouTube music apps coming out recently you'd think 2012 is the year when YouTube reigns supreme for music listening.

This is the first thing you ever coded? That's fantastic, it's a great product.

I am a designer, and have coded HTML/CSS before. I have been trying to learn coding for years, but never get beyond the intro chapters in most books. So this is my project. I just picked PHP (because it seemed to be simple enough - just drop into the HTML), and decided to code this concept. Lots of stackoverflow and github searches later I finally have a working version.

Ah the HTML/CSS background explains a lot. Because most first-time coders could never make anything this nice looking. And it's very functional too, so I'm definitely not trying to bash your PHP skills.

This is cool.

Would be nice to know how popular a particular tune was, i.e. at minimum Youtube Views and preferably also Likes/Dislikes as columns so you could order by them.

This is useful for many reasons, e.g. someone recommended a band and you do not know the easiest way to get into it.

I don't have any flashblocker installed. I thought it was because of HTTPS Everywhere but I disabled it temporarily and got the same result. Anyway I won't add an exception rule to HTTPS Everywhere for YouTube. So I have no clue at all what the cause could be, I don't think a "it doesn't work for me" bug report would be of any help.

HTTPS Everywhere has had known issue with youtify, so that could be the issue. What browser are you using?

I'm using Firefox 10.0.6.
