#13I made a tape and sent it to my wife right away, with a bunch of music that means a lot to us. It was a fantastic way to relive a lot of memories in a few minutes.
Great idea, love it.

#14With a name like flirttape, how are you supposed to pretend you're just being casual?
I guess it's up to you. Choose the appropriate songs... Go ahead, flirt!!! =D

#15It’s pretty buggy on Firefox. When I first loaded the site, it kept trying to search for something even though the search box was empty. Then I reloaded the page and compiled and saved a mix tape (http://flirttape.com/JRhANofRX9). But I couldn’t play any of the tracks with the player – no sound came out when playing, and clicking Next did nothing. Also, the Pause button that is the alternate of the Play button had its round button borders smaller than the pause symbol.

You could:
A) provide a disclaimer. "Hey, this isn't really a flirt tape, I just thought you would like these."
OR
B) stop being a nancy boy.

#18Interesting. How are you playing the YouTube track in there?
We are just hiding the Youtube chromeless player away with some CSS and hooking up to it with js to make our own player
Ahh, I see now. We've been working on a way to do the same without Flash - have you had any success with that?

#20Where are you getting the song data (title / artist name) from? If it isn't scraped from YouTube, how do you match up the search results with YouTube videos?
Good work!
P.S. When viewing source (on Chrome, OS X) it shows the .search and .mixtape divs as blank! Is there a reason for this?
