http://PlayByLyrics.com - Searches and finds music by entering some songtext, possibly combined with the artist, album or song name.

I'm also thinking of selling this to companies like Grooveshark, Spotify, or a lyrics website. I really like the website myself and use it a lot, but it doesn't get a lot of traffic. It has some potential though, I'm quite sure of that, and if I ever continue serious development there'll also be an app. And yes, I know the design isn't very great, but it works for me for now.

If you have any interest, contact methods are on the website (see the "about" link at the bottom).



One thing I noticed is you should try to check the length of the target video - I got a 1-hour-long mashup of songs.

I'm wondering what the algorithm for this is - "Reddit" got me a rickroll, "4chan" got me a Pokemon/Belair mashup, "Hacker News" got me Lil Wayne.

...actually, you gave me an idea.


Thanks for the notice, I wrote it down to implement in future versions :)

I never tested it with things like reddit, 4chan or HN. It's meant for lyrics, and I'm kind of like "random things are to be expected when you enter random things". It'll always have to be looked up on Youtube though, so it's not like you'll never see extreme things.
