Great! I did a couple obscure searches and it worked. Two questions? a) It's an html5 version of the player possible? b) Aren't you afraid of RIAA and such?

HTML5 may happen in the future, we're definitely taking a hard look at it. The RIAA isn't a concern right now, as none of the content is hosted ourselves, but it's still in the back of our minds.

Hey boss, I worked on a similar site a while back called Audiolizer (http://www.audiolizer.com). Pretty much the same thing, we used the Youtube API for songs. Its a pretty crowded space, so don't expect to make big money or traffic out of it.

But yeah, keep the interface clean and simple (and not bright pink please!). IMO, I would put the search results in the center column and the playlist off to the right. Its a bit unintuitive the way it is now because when a user searches for something, they expect it to pop up immediately in front of them.

You should definitely build out playlists (if you haven't already) and what you can do is create a few and link to them on your homepage (ie. Coldplay's greatest hits). Integrate Facebook/Twitter logins for higher registration rates. Have fun.

The site is currently dumping this on the screen:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /nfs/c06/h02/mnt/97481/domains/leyzi.com/html/ome_library/Plugin.php on line 37

Even if this is just an early iteration, I'd suggest you take a few minutes to do some basic config on your server e.g. Log the errors, don't display them.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to use the site beyond that as all I see is a JS dialog with the message "Load Error" once the basic page design comes up (Chrome/Safari/Firefox on OSX) Hopefully this just means you're a victim of some success here at HN and you're working on a fix, but for now I'm afraid I can't provide any more useful feedback as I can't try your site out.
