I started working for a company late last year involved with providing an online radio experience. We tackle the same problem of providing a seamless music listening experience.

#52Doesn't work if you type something with a space in it. For example, typing "Municipal Waste" gives you an error page, and the URL looks like this: http://www.youfm.org/#/search/municipal waste
It does work actually. Although when you share the link the space messes up the hyperlink, I should probably turn spaces into "+"s. If you're getting an error that says "Oops something went wrong", thats something that pops up now and again (Can't figure out why). Refresh the page and it should work.
Hello,
Got the "oops somethign went wrong" error on my first search.
Searched for "Hoodie Allen", and did not work. When I added underscores in the link, it worked. Searched again from the home page with the same term and it worked..

#54I feel this will be shutdown before the end of the week.
No reason for it to be shutdown. All music videos are from Youtube (provided legally by the original artists, their labels or Vevo) and I followed Youtube's requirement of not hiding the video player when playing songs (which a lot of similar sites do, and is against Youtube's TOS)
Lets hope so, best wishes to you.

#56Its a nice project but I was wondering if there's any larger objective to this than just creating this for the sake of it

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
>YouFM is a simple music streaming site that searches Spotify for the data and then plays the music video from Youtube. No wonder it couldn't find anything for most of the artists I tried, then, despite a whole lot of their stuff being on YouTube... And for the one it did, the song matching seemed incredibly spotty (try searching for Huoratron and playing the song A699F, for example). Some other feedback: You should…
Actually in the next update, I'll add direct results from youtube for searches that doesn't return anything from Spotify. I just have to figure out how to get the song metadata in a meaningful way for those.
Have you taken a look at http://www.discogs.com/developers/ ?

#60Looks nice! Looks a lot like Youtify though, which is open source and welcoming contributors.
