I love it. I think it's the first Show HN that I've bookmarked and will use! Could you queue up the next video so that it's already loaded when the current one ends? It seems like it should be easier to make a playlist and share it. Also, I would to be prompted to switch to an alternate playlist based on "favorited" songs, if the one I'm on is boring me. Again, great work! I've been waiting for something like this. |

Queueing the next video is an interesting idea. I know there is a way using the YouTube player API to queue a video but I know that it doesn't actually start loading the flv until playVideo is called, so I'm unsure if that would speed up the process. Another idea would be to have multiple youtube players that can load videos separately and then switch between them as necessary. This might add unnecessary bulk and slow down the page, but I'm not sure if it would be considerable. I'll look into this.
Right now there shouldn't be much delay between videos, has it been enough to be annoying for you? There might be other ways this transition can be smoothed as well.
Better support for playlist creation and sharing is something I agree is crucial and we should get to that soon. Improving recommendations to make music exploring and discovery is something we're constantly working to improve.
