Looking for a certain music video?

What is it: Do you ever search for music videos on YouTube and its brethren? Well, results always vary a bit, especially because people often tag (and name) stuff stupidly or sometimes tag not at all. Well, a guy at CDTM built a website (one of those ‘beta’, web-two-point-oh-ish, mashuppy things) where you just enter a search string and (if you don’t type “Joshua Kadison” to find Metallica videos, duh!) it presents you with the videos, album/artist info etc.you searched for (100% hit rate for me in 20 searches). Also it gives you a small cloud of similar albums (via audioscrobbler, the same data service that powers last.fm) so you can broaden your knowledge on one hand and be reminded of music you had forgotten on the other.
Note (2007-04-18): When testing the site please keep in mind that it is not in any way “production grade”, the beta is just for load-testing, evaluating and so on. Log in as ‘beta’ with password ‘beta’ and search away. Do the guys a favor and fill out the feedback form linked on the page or to be found here.
