Comment on Show HN: Zune-Inspired Music Interface Concept

Comments

This looks great. The only thing I didn't like was the big ugly google banner ad on the side.

Also, are there any legal complications with how you are sourcing the music?

Nice job!

Edit: I noticed some tracks are wrong. e.g. Hump De Bump by the Red Hot Chili Peppers plays something else I didn't recognize.

Sometimes, unfortunately it gets the music wrong--I think what may have happened with Hump De Bump is that it takes the MP3 from the official video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxEZVM84J28) which takes about 40 seconds for the music to start playing.

I'll play around with the code that strips out bad search results and maybe get this to change.

Thanks for the feedback / taking the time. As for the legal complications, I'm genuinely not sure--it's available on YouTube and downloading from YouTube is fairly trivial, but it's not like it's a functionality placed front-and-centre on this site. You'd have to be more tech-savvy to download music via this site than from any of the many YouTube to MP3 services on the web.
