Youtube is big, sometimes to big to find what you are looking for. Peter created a simple interface to search over 150000 music videos that are currently hosted on Youtube. The videos are embedded in the page as well which makes it probably the fastest method to search for music videos on Youtube. I’m not exactly sure how he managed to get all those videos in this database or if he used a script to do it, lots of work nevertheless.

The interface makes it possible to either play one of the videos that are currently listed on the frontpage, search for a band or song or use the random button to generate a listing of random clips pulled from the database. If you do search for a band or song you should make sure that you use phrases to match the songs. If I wanted to find Fear of the Dark from Iron Maiden I would enter the title and not only fear in the search field.

The interface is loading pretty fast and the songs play perfect, even the ones that I had problems with on Youtube itself. Great site, check it out.
