Google shutting this down in 3..2..1..

don't see why, they're using the youtube player and the same youtube search results. However, why even do this if you can do exactly the same on the youtube website or inside google+ Doesn't really add any value that youtube already gives you. Search for non music and the illusion dies. Cool UI though.

The autoplaying of a new song is a feature that doesn't work in youtube, unless you make a playlist. I love that I can type in an artist, click a song, and go about my work.

It's awesome! Very similar to http://www.youfm.org/ but with a greater focus on the videos themselves. I also like that you play similar songs, almost like a pandora for youtube. It seems like a lot of cool apps are being built on top of the youtube api these days such as http://cloudplay.fm/ and http://www.thisismyjam.com/ and I love it!

Cool, but is there any way you could implement a "back" button? I'd love to be able to go to basically say "oops, wrong turn!" and go back.

My client went from "The Tallest Man on Earth" to Nirvana. These types of music are VERY different.

Then it went from Mumford and Sons to Black Eyed Peas. Again, very different.

Obviously this isn't a problem with your client, it's youtube's recommendation system; it would just be nice to have a way to correct it.

i'm planning to implement a play queue where you can see/save/share all the videos you've played. From there you'll also be able to go back.

Cool, for the first 25 of the Top 100 I get this:

    Unfortunately, this video is not available
    in Germany because it may contain
    music for which GEMA has not granted
    the respective music rights.

I stopped trying after 25.

I like it.

Feature request: once I've picked a search result, (allow me to) hide the results — that is, have no left sidebar, so the whole UI fits in a smaller window.
