Nice example of false dichotomy ;0)>

Excellent idea though, I imagine the output data could be worth quite a lot. Are you pitching it at the Cheezburger people?

lkozma6• 17 years ago

which one is the false dichotomy ? :)

pbhjpbhj2• 17 years ago

It's either the one made by the dinosaur or the one dipped in barbecue sauce. ;0)>

(in case anyone missed it, not all songs fit the two options "awesomely similar" and "completely unalike")

How about let users submit songs which sounds alike? e.g. This bollywood song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxd6po6wL4w) music is totally alike this 'final countdown' song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_IKcMl_a9A

It's the submit button on the bottom of the page.

tarouter3• 17 years ago

Got it! sorry didn't see it before.

tarouter3• 17 years ago

Very cool idea though! I love it! I can think of at least 50 bollywood songs right now which I can submit. I'm sure many music lovers will know much examples on top of their heads.

Notice however, that it's not for well known remakes, more for not-so-obvious similarities.

Great idea! I hear similarities in songs all the time. Now I have a place to document them :)

I like it! It would be great if you could add a big play button, that plays 10 seconds of song A and then 10 seconds of song B (or whatever timespan the submitter defines).

Add the song information above or below the video. When you play the video you lose sight of what song is playing. I'm hard of remembering, so I noticed it.

lkozma6• 17 years ago

Good point, I'll add it next.

Make it so hitting the random tab works even when you're on the random tab. If I hit the random tab repeatedly, nothing happens. I have to hit another tab and then come back to he random tab to get another random selection. (Ubuntu, Firefox 3.5.5, from canonical's package)

I think "next" on the random page does what I want, but I also think it's more natural to hit the thing called "random" when you want another random selection. Especially when your mouse is already on "random" and you aren't interested in what was just served. "Click - click - click - OK, this one."

Thanks, good point, implemented it that way now.
