There needs to be a way to close the YouTube player, not just hide it. I keep getting "video player is too small" errors after hiding the player so I can scroll down and select another song.

Incidentally, if the songs you want are available on the iTunes Store, http://preview.fm/ is a lot cleaner and easier to deal with, at least if 30-90 second samples will suffice.

Thank you for your comment! I am working on the "video player is too small" error. I hope to have a fix shortly, as well as an ability to close instead of just hiding.

Thanks for introducing me to preview.fm as well! I am working on incorporating iTunes to the "Buy" portion of the music results soon, so hopefully that will help out in case you prefer iTunes over Amazon.

I was not expecting much form this other than 'yet another aggregator'...but damn, this thing is amazingly fast. I'm impressed!

Mind revealing to us how you made it so fast? Your site feels faster than even YouTube search...

I worked hard to reduce the bloat that comes with a lot of the websites. I decided to leave all of the source within the home page, so feel free to dig around :)

better algorithm and no parodies/remixes/wrong titles?

love it! I used to search each of these sites manually.

Hmm, can it be faster, if suppose you reduce the size of cover art below the player? Plus, when I switched from spotify to youtube, it gave me a 'player is too small' error. Also, you can't switch to a new link, until you hide the player again.

I have had reports that this occurs when a browser window isn't in the maximized state. I am working on the solution at the moment. Fore the time being, a workaround is to simply click the play button twice on the same song. Thank you for the report :)
