Thanks, I've been holding out for a lyrics site that doesn't make me feel like my computer just contracted the clap.
yes spam sites seem to dominate this space. Thought it could do with some respectability. hehe

#12Cool stuff! A few bugs: under the "recently viewed" header, the same song appears twice in a row. You're getting text encoding funkiness -- http://www.myplaylist.biz/Coldplay/Cemeteries-Of-London/2698...
'You're getting text encoding funkiness --??'
please explain what you see, all looks good here?

#13yeah i liked this. searched for hooker in minneapolis, and not only did i get the correct lyrics but i also got sweet version by neko case to hear. i have been looking for it for ages..whata bonus. nice one. just to nit pick. i would out-source your logo. try 99designs for $150-$200.
Sorry m8, I know the logo might be a bit cheap (30 mins work) as I am, but I really could care less about the logo, I'm more fanatical about making it actually work well.

#14Are we supposed to comment on the coding or the business model? Not bad for four weeks coding. Might have a little trouble making money with the copyright issues involved.
feel free to give your thoughts regardless

#15Found all three songs I looked for first try, but site is getting pretty slow. Might try whittling down the number of results returned. Also saw text encoding funkiness. Really nice tho, bookmarked. How are you getting the songs and pictures in the flash on the left?
Re: 4 weeks in the zone = my latest app (just for fun).
#16Yea, I've written some similar code to this for fetching the lyrics based on arbitrary parts of the song. It's a fun challenge, and getting the correct lyrics is also hard. Well done on that account.
I see that you are using a flash player to display Flickr photos, presumably appropriated tagged, while playing an mp3 of the song?
I like the site though, well done!

you have the ring tone but you could always link the sheet music for another source of revenue

#19Some great data sourcing, which really makes it compelling. Do you mind if I asked where you got the db from? (just out of curiosity)

#20I would highly suggest you get a license to feature the lyrics on your site if you intend on going mainstream. Aside from legal troubles you could face, I think intellectual property should be respected. Using someone's copyrighted material without their consent is never ok.
