I used nothing but a text editor to write the frontend, and the backend is entirely yourls: yourls.org. Song lists are stored directly in URLs using iTunes IDs, and yourls shorturls them. A very preliminary version was piggybacking on a third-party shorturling service. I plan to release the source on github in the next couple of weeks.
The top result on a YouTube search for 'song title+band' is played. The Fail button cycles through the next few results.
I agree that the video is a little too small. I've experimented with making that a resizable window on the screen -- I'll try that again.
Awesome stuff! But wont you get into trouble with Google for this site? Because it is like Spotify, except much better. :) Previously, I used http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ to conveniently listen to music on youtube, but it apparently ran into legal issues.
Anyone have any more info on this? I have an idea for a similar service with a bit of a twist, but I've been put of as I thought this type of thing was against youtube TOS.
Also, I've queued up and played a few tracks, but not seen any youtube adverts, have I just been lucky or is there some way of removing them?

Copy button! Yes!
Thanks for the feedback!
