Wow, I'm really liking Songite. Great work keeping it simple -- not enough of that these days.

Edit: Just noticed something playing around with it. Is there a way to correct its results if it doesn't happen to get them right? For example, I searched for All That You Are by Mudvayne, and the only result that gets queued is an 8-second intro.

I like the "I'm Feeling Lucky" simplicity, but there should probably be a way to fix the choice -- e.g., a button on the song for "not the right one" that expands a list of search results.

Right there with you. DI vocal trance has ushered me through many a tight deadline.

Thanks. I'm definitely thinking about ways to correct songs that are wrong - my current idea is a button next to each song that pops out a list of alternatives.

I just updated my original post with a songite link. It's a very nicely designed tool!

(I had trouble finding a sharable version of Weather Report's Palladium. Any way you can give me choices when I want/need them?)
