4 pointsNovaDesu15y ago4 comments

I've been working on a new project of mine, and it's near completion for release.

You can listen to music for free, streamed via youtube. It's all web based and works via ajax!

It is really easy to share music with your friends, here a few examples:

A playlist of mine: http://demontunes.com/p/br

Link to a song http://demontunes.com/s/CCsPt6ZTbIQ

The website is: http://demontunes.com/ or http://demontunes.com/player/

Would like to hear some feedback!

Great site. I used to own audiolizer.com that did the same thing but with less features.

One thing that worked out really well for us was allowing users to import their itunes libraries/playlists. You just need to parse the iTunes XML and map them title/artists to YouTube videos and users would be able to import thousands of songs in seconds.

A few questions:

- How do you plan to make money?

- With YouTubes new song filtering, a lot of songs aren't the original pitch anymore- how do you deal with that?

- Have you considered using the Grooveshark API?

Good luck with the site!

The interface is clearly a clone of iTunes, but boy is it done well! Nice work.

did you do both the ux and the coding? It's very impressive work.

I made it together with someone, but I did all of the coding and most of the design.
