I like it! Very clean and simple, personally I find YouTube's built-in playlists pretty clunky so this is nice to see. As a bonus, with something like this I never have to read youtube comments.

I would make the "Search youtube" thing more visible... it took me a while to notice it, I think most people might miss it.

I'd like to make the "Search youtube" visible for first-time users without making it in-your-face for repeat use. I'll play with the contrast a bit more. Thanks! :)

Beautiful interface! I actually was throwing around the idea of an audio only Youtube player, can is there a way to toggle the video?

Hey, I also played with this idea a while ago in tinycassette.com. I added soundcloud support too. I do not have the search feature yet, but I also made a chrome extension to control the player within the browser. Give it a look, we should partner :P

Yes, I think so, but I'll look into it and get back to you.

Thanks men, was looking for something like this!

Btw, maybe add a play button to playlist. It took me a few songs to figure out you could double click songs in the playlist.

Should be, there was a similar kind of app online for a while at jukeboxfor.me. There you only played music from youtube, no video.
