Beautiful interface! I actually was throwing around the idea of an audio only Youtube player, can is there a way to toggle the video?

That would be good... I wonder if it's possible to remove the video entirely, as opposed to just hiding it - would be really useful when I listen to music on Youtube on battery power on my laptop!

What does clicking on the video names do? I mean, other than toggling the existence of a gray bar above the name.

You can double-click to play a video. You can also click and drag to rearrange the playlist! This will automatically update the address bar so you can then share the rearranged playlist.

Audio only Youtube player is against the Youtube terms of service. You have to display the video at a certain minimum size.

A friend of mine made something similar to this, but audio only, and - if I remember correctly - got a cease and desist. (Or, at least, he got some kind of "you're in breach of terms of service, cut it out" message, which freaked him out and prompted him to take the project offline).

Hey, I also played with this idea a while ago in tinycassette.com. I added soundcloud support too. I do not have the search feature yet, but I also made a chrome extension to control the player within the browser. Give it a look, we should partner :P

Thats pretty nifty too. Would love to meet up if you're in the Bay Area =).

Maybe some day. I'm from Portugal so it's a bit far from the Bay Area. Is this just a side project, do you have any greater plans for this? You already have a very nice domain.

Yes, I can see how it would annoy some content creators too. I'll check out the TOS for sure, thanks.

I noticed these two features. What feature does the gray bar that you can toggle by single-clicking pertain to?

Nice. Bookmarked. I never liked how Youtube solved playlists. I like the URL pattern, because it makes it easy, to write a bookmarklet that turns all Youtube links on a page into a playlist. :)

Some room for improvement: Please add title attributes to the buttons. Also the loop-button is a bit confusing to me. Maybe standard icons as seen in many other players are easier to understand. It would be nice, to have the volume slider slideable.

Mixtube did a similar thing, but seems to be broken at the moment: http://mixtube.org/
